Seeing this as someone born in 2000, it’s sad that most of the centre was bulldozed for the damn Brunel, always wondered why we look so different to other towns/cities despite our age :(
Went to school there in the early 60s Jennings st used to get the school bus from Park North. Won a medal for table tennis in Swindon local league in the 60s still have it. First job was working in Garrards who made record players I had to test them to make sure they were working OK. Life time ago. Left Swindon to go up to London and became part of the swinging 60s. Married a Playboy Bunny at nineteen and still married forty five years later. I enjoyed my time living in Swindon, walking to Westcotte to get the shopping as there was no shops in Park North at that time only a little hut around the back of what was called Langs. Is it still called that today ?
