Book Launch 25th October.

At LAST! I’ve managed to bring to fruition my Swindon in 50 More Buildings project – begun on the blog before the pandemic. This is much to my huge relief I have to say – so I’m now greatly excited to be getting it launched!

This sequel to Swindon in 50 Buildings fills in lots of gaps. I had to leave out of the original book a good number or railway-related buildings – so I’ve addressed that. And this time of course, I’ve included The Oasis and the Motorola buildings. I wanted to get both of those into the first book but had difficult choices to make – so it feels good to have got them covered now. Then I also couldn’t go into the wider borough so I’ve made the effort to do that and included buildings in Wroughton and Highworth.

Launch location

I’m holding the launch at Fika Coffee and Wine on Havelock Square. I’ve opted for this place for several reasons:

  1. A central location with car parking close by.
  2. It’s fully accessible – straight in from street level, all one level and with a fully accessible toilet.
  3. Being coffee and wine (or beer) you can have coffee and a bun or you can indulge in a libation. I’ll be doing the latter. #Obvs
  4. And it’s an independent business – it’s important to support our independents. #ShopLocal

Time and date: Saturday the 25th October at 12.30pmhope to see you there!
