GWR Medical Fund Baths and Dispensary on the corner of Faringdon Street and Milton Road, started in 1891/92. 'Historic interest: * for the age and survival of the Turkish baths suite, which have been identified as the oldest surviving, continually-functioning Turkish baths establishment in the country, which remain very little altered and in their original use; * the Health Hydro complex is highly significant as an integrated health care facility – which included two swimming baths; Turkish, Russian and washing baths; doctors; a dispensary; dental surgeries and dental laboratory; and ophthalmology, chiropody, psychology and physiotherapy departments – dating from some 50 years before the first NHS Health Centres began to provide such services for the general population...' taken from https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1382135?section=official-list-entry |

On the GWR site now is the STEAM Museum and in that are 12 War Memorials to workers that died in WW1 & WW2. The images in the attached composite photo were taken on the 8th June 2013 after a Britain From Above get-together. For details of one memorial and the names on it, see www.roll-of-honour.com/Wiltshire/SwindonGWRLoco.html |
