Swindon has its origin as a small market town, used mainly for barter trade until the mid-1800s. The original Swindon is now known as Old Town. Take time to wander through its quiet courtyards and alleyways or enjoy a vibrant mix of traditional shops and pubs alongside modern outlets and stylish cafes and bars.
With the arrival of the Great Western Railway in 1840 a whole new town was created between the new railway works and Swindon Hill. Today this is Swindon's Town Centre. The centre is fully pedestrianised and offers both an indoor and outdoor shopping experience. Whether you are in search of the latest fashion, or have an eye for a bargain, this is the place to be. For those more creative purchases, look out for the local and international markets.
The Swindon and Marlborough NHS Trust consists of these hospitals and services
The Great Western Hospital - a modern district general hospital providing emergency care, surgery, diagnostics, out patient and day case services.
The Brunel Treatment Centre - a 128 bed unit designed to provide high quality elective (planned) care and diagnostics.
The Shalbourne Suite - a 20 bed private patient unit within the Brunel Treatment Centre.
Other Units - there are several other hospitals, clinics and services provided by the trust, such as Marlborough House, Savernake Hospital and Fairford Hospital
