One of the great features of Swindon has always been that you could be in beautiful countryside within minutes. Even more so in the past. Join us here to step back into another age, on the edge of town close to a century ago. It is striking how many people were involved in tending the land back then. We think these fields are where the Polo Ground and Broome Manor stand now. Filmed on early 9.5mm amateur camera in 1935 by Dennis Winslow and restored/digitised/compiled by Martin Parry.
