View across Fleming Way, Swindon

At left and centre are two of several office blocks occupied by Zurich Insurance. The structure that has been sheeted is a multi-storey car park which is being demolished to make way for redevelopment of the bus station area. The buses in view are in what is acting as a temporary bus station. For a view of the area in April this year see Link

View to Carfax Street car park, Swindon

The car park looming in the background was built around 1980 plus or minus a year or two. It is now closed and is being demolished as part of the redevelopment of the area. The typically glamorous signboard in the centre shows what the area is intended to look like in a few years' time.

Carfax Street car park, Swindon

The car park is the multi-storey structure looming above the trees in the foreground. It is in the process of being demolished after about 35 years of service. It is having to go to make way for a comprehensive and much-needed redevelopment of the area. The car park has echoes of art deco about it although I doubt that was intentional on the part of the designers.
