About Fencing in Swindon
Swindon in Wiltshire was transformed from a small market town into a major railway centre after the Great Western Railway chose the site for its locomotive works in 1841, backed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his chief engineer Daniel Gooch, who identified Swindon as sitting at the junction of the Golden Valley line. The works opened in January 1843 with just 180 employees, but grew so rapidly that by the early 20th century over 14,000 people worked there, building and repairing locomotives and shaping Swindon's identity as a railway town complete with purpose built residential villages for its workforce, until the works finally closed in 1986.
