The coming of the Great Western Railway transformed Swindon. At its peak, the company's works stretched for over one and a half miles adjacent to the main railway line, and employed over 14,000 people.

Since the works closed in 1986, much of the site has been transformed. Historic buildings have been converted to new use and new builidngs erected.
