the main block in 1966 (the official opening was by Princess Margaret in April 1966)
(

The site has been developed for new housing, shops and a care home. It is nice to see that the street names reflect the site's history. We will endevour to return and take some photographs of the new housing.
The
Great Western Hospital, in Marlborough Road is now Swindon's main hospital.
