Come on a free Guided Tour of Prospect Place

The Prospect Place Conservation Area was developed to provide housing, schools, shops, and churches for people working for the Great Western Railway company in Swindon during the 19th Century. Although small in scale the area has a rich history of non-conformism, artisan trading and small scale manufacturing reflected in the numerous architectural styles of the buildings.

In the 20th Century, the area developed a bohemian atmosphere of experimentation and politics which remains manifest today. The local trust offers two guided tours of the area that range from academic discourse to anecdotal stories of local people.

Meet opposite the BBC in Prospect Place car park.  Booking not required.
