Old Town the original Swindon developed slowly & modestly throughout the medieval period on a hill some 450 feet above sea level. By the middle of the nineteenth century it was still a small country town. Almost every worker was employed in some form of agriculture or as a servant to the gentry who were beginning to build their villas a decent distance from the low thatched cottages & the traders premises at its centre. The railway arrived in 1840 & changed all that. As the new industrial town snarled & snapped at the foot of the hill Old Town remained self-contained & independent. It expanded slowly advancing inexorably towards that watershed in its future when the old settlement & the new town would conjoin physically & administratively allowing the latter to dominate. Yet Old Town is still a place apart within the conurbation; it is where Swindon began & where its history can best be felt. ...
