Swindon History

Swindon originally started off as a Saxon settlement sat in a defensible position on a limestone hill. For centuries Swindon was a just a small and quiet market town until the Industrial Revolution in the 1800’s. It started with the construction of the Wiltshire and Berkshire canal in 1810 and the North Wiltshire canal in 1819 which brought more trade into the area. It was the coming of the railway, which transformed Swindon for a small market town into the largest town in Wiltshire. In 1840 Isambard Kingdon Brunel chose Swindon as the site for the railworks he planned for the Great Western Railway linking London with Bristol. Swindon was the junction for the proposed line to Gloucester. In the last years of the 19th century Swindon continued to grow rapidly.

The Old Town, the original market town merged with Swindon New Town which had grown around the railway line. During the first half of the 20th century the railway works was Swindon’s largest employer and one of the biggest in the county employing 14,500 workers. The works’ decline started in 1960 and by the 1970s much of the works closed. In 2001 construction commenced on Priory Vale, the third and final instalment in Swindon’s “Northern Expansion” project which began with Abbey Meads and continued at St Andrew’s Ridge. The New Swindon Company was formed in 2002, to stimulate investment and co-ordinate plans for the revitalisation of the town centre. The average household income in Swindon is amongst the highest in the country and with a population of 180,000 is one of the fastest growing towns in Europe.
