Swindon in 50 More Buildings

My Swindon in 50 More Buildings book – the long awaited sequel to Swindon in 50 Buildings. It is at last launched!

I held the launch at Fika Coffee and Wine on Havelock Square. We had a full house and a fun time. But I’m been ill pretty much since then thus I’ve not got round to posting anything about it until now.

    Hi Angela, been a while since I looked at your blogs, I enjoyed re-reading the Oasis stuff you produced a while back. Will pick up your new book in the new year, thank you.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

      Hi Neil

      Compliments of the season to you too Neil.

      Ref the book – it features the Oasis! I couldn’t get it in the other one so ensured it went in this one.

      And that’s grand – thanks. The library and Bert’s Books have them. And so do I!
