313 Welcombe Avenue was the 4000th house to be constructed by Laing in Swindon. 3000 of these houses were of Easiform construction, and the remainder were mostly traditional in design. 'Easiform' was a method of in situ pre-cast concrete construction which John Laing and Son Ltd developed from 1919 onwards. The tenants of 313 Welcombe Avenue were a couple with three young children. Sir William Kirby Laing is on the far left of this image, and the Mayor of Swindon, Miss E C M Millin, on the far right.
This image was catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20.
