Wyvern Car Park, Swindon, Wiltshire




These are photographs of the Wyvern multi-storey car park, which was demolished in 2015.  It was located in Islington Street in the centre of Swindon town and had both long and short stay parking and included the 'Shopmobility' service on the ground floor.  The car park was very close to the Wyvern Theatre and a bridge linked the two from level three of the car park to the entrance of the theatre.  This bridge too was demolished.

Knowing the car park was to be demolished we went and took more photographs of the building, so we do have some repetition in our photographs.

After demolition the space was levelled.  Late in 2018 the space left by the car park was tarmaced and it became a car park once again - this time named the Wyvern Short Stay car park.

We have photographs of the  Demolition  and the new  Wyvern Short Stay Car Park.
