SUMMARY:Walk the Works Heritage Trail
DESCRIPTION:The Works Heritage Trail guides you around Swindon’s beautifully preserved Railway Village\, through the Tunnel and around the former GWR Works – the original industrial heart of Swindon. \nIn the 1840s\, the Great Western Railway chose to site its locomotive repair works here\, in open countryside mid-way between Bristol and London. That decision changed Swindon forever. The first railway workers\, and the generations that followed them\, forged Swindon’s character and pioneered its evolution into a dynamic and prosperous industrial centre in the south-west of England. \nThe Heritage Trail tells Swindon’s story of pioneering ideas\, community initiatives and societal change through three themes:\nIndustry\, Community and Health \nThe Trail follows a circular route\, starting and ending at Swindon Station.\nIt is approximately two miles (3.2km) long. The route is mostly flat\, with one short slope at the Tunnel. \nJoin the Trail at any point – find your location on the trail map. Labelled circles indicate the corresponding information panel titles listed in this guide. \nLook out for bronze discs in the pavements that help direct you from point to point. \nThe design of the bronze pavement discs illustrate the Trail’s three themes: a rail track for industry; a needle and thread for community\, and the traditional serpent-and-staff symbol for medicine and health. The directional arrows meet at a mirrored pair of GWR motifs. \n\nJoin the trail and find our more here!
