It was sold for £1 to an Indian Businessman as he promised to restore it many years ago. Unfortunately he left it to deteriorate further. The Council has spent thousands recently to install a new roof. It a great shame that locals can't give their time, energy and expertise to restore this building as the surrounding railway village was restored many years ago. It could become a wonderful asset to Swindon, but such a restoration requires great vision and purposefulness, sadly lacking in these times of greed and profit. Personally I would love it to be restored on the outside facade and inside made into a self sustaining interior using modern technology to provide a free to run housing project for a keen group of innovators and creative thinkers to focus on passing on skills to younger generations. In short an off grid living space within an urban environment.

I'm the great-grandson of a GWR sign painter. I would love to have the opportunity to help restore this building, but the council is happy to let it rot and I would be arrested for trying to restore it myself. Instead I am trying to bring some culture and self respect back to this town by encouraging the artists and creatives I know to work together. It's a tough job and there is 0 support from services in Swindon. It's a crime really.
