Located in South West England, Swindon lies between Bristol, 35 miles (56 kilometres) to its west, and Reading, equidistant to its east.

The new town constructed for the railway workers produced pioneering amenities such as the UK's first lending library and a 'cradle-to-grave' healthcare centre that was later used as a blueprint for the NHS.After the Second World War, the town expanded dramatically again, as industry and people moved from London to designated New or Expanded Towns such as Swindon.
