Details
The following building shall be added: SWINDON RODBOURNE ROAD SU 1484 NW BREL: Swindon Works 5/177 No 9 Shop (former J Shop) GV II A very long range with a masonry built facade of an arcaded ground floor of red brick headed arches and ashlar dressed jambs and windows with paired windows above. The rear elevation is brick built with brick dressed windows. The western two thirds were built in 1873 as a foundry and was extended eastwards with similar detailing first c1890 and again in 1922. The range presents a 32 bay facade to the main line railway with a twin gabled six bay return to the east end and a corrugated sheet return to the west end. The rear elevation is partly obscured by modern additions of 1965. The first 20 bays from the west represent the original build and reputedly the alternate ground floor bays were blind pierced by windows c 1924, the remaining 12 bays are late 19th and early 20th century. The west elevation was rebuilt in 1965. The effort taken with the facade to match the extensions with the original builds indicated that this was always.regarded as a prestige building in relation to the main line railway consists of two tall single storey aisles separated in the original part by a rank of two tier cast-iron columns and in the later sections by rivetted steel composite columns at a much greater bay interval. The building was visited by King George V and Queen Mary in 1924 when a welcome message was cast in their presence. This survives on site.
