Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Downs View Road, Swindon The road is a cul-de-sac. For such a configuration it is unusually wide. I have heard it said that, when the road was planned, the intention was to take it to the south-west, over the railway that then existed and Broome Manor Lane thus forming a relief road round Old Town. Unfortunately for the planners, someone neglected to obtain the necessary permissions or wayleaves from the landowner and the scheme came to nothing. A further legacy is a wide area of green space, the edge of which is visible in the foreground, between the houses on either side, which were built in the 1930s. The bus in the background is in Marlborough Road on its way into Old Town, Swindon. |
