Your in the swindon advert. Just seen it in my news feed.

Hey man, you should take a look at the abandoned mechanics institute. Dead opposite of the tunnel leading to the outlet centre, you do need to be careful as some areas are at high risk of collapse but these can be avoided. There is also the remains of a flat up there too that was quite high market.

Having worked in Debenhams Topshop Dorothy Perkins and M&Co you could say i have no luck in retail 🤣 , Debenhams is the job i miss most I worked in homewear until moving to men’s clothing which was a task in and of itself but god seeing Debenhams buildings in an abandoned state breaks my heart

[@amyfrancis7916]

This brings back so many memories! Worked there for around 4 years but it was the best job I ever had. Loved working there. Such a shame it is being used for storage. It would have been nice to see it turned into another retail store 🙃

[@AntiFurry-d6s]

I remember going there with my grand parents on Christmas whne they came for the holidays

I remember eating in that restaurant not long ago, was looking at the view from the window. Really eerie seeing it like that. I'm surprised as well it still has all the lights on?

[@Kira22gaming]

I think I went there back in 2019 for the last time it was very empty

[@unalunar7362]

The restaurant was good... all.overpriced but still.a shame. Swindons awful now.

[@ODDCOUPLE666]

Aww I’d love to have looked round that! Used to like going in there. The old mcilroys before it was demolished would have been great

[@kittyk1346]

The stockroom you went into was for Oxford Debenhams, the entrance to the Swindon side one was in the former home/clearance department. I used to work in the stock movement department & left a year before it closed.

[@CallmenobodWMAO743]

Really? So this goes into Oxford?

[@kittyk1346]

@HeartstopperguyWMAO743 The Swindon Debenhams had a large area for a stockroom divided into two halves. The Oxford Debenhams store had an agreement with the Swindon store to look after their excess stock. I worked in stock movement, & also at times drove the stock to Oxford & back with the cages & totes they requested. Hence why it was Oxford Debenhams & Swindon Debenhams.
