About Swindon

Training in Swindon

Within the county of Wiltshire lies the great town of Swindon. The town is located in the south of England between Bristol and Reading and has a population of over 150,000 people. Swindon was part of the Town Development Act in 1952 which led to a major increase of population.

The British town’s first settlement was founded by the Anglo-Saxons on top of a limestone hill. During the 1800’s, Swindon was a small market town which is now known as Old Town. Throughout the Industrial Revolution, Swindon started to grow rapidly as it started the construction of the Wilts and Berks Canal in 1810 and the North Wilts Canal in 1819. These pivotal canals brought trade back into the industrial town therefore increasing the population. Swindon is also famously known for its railway lines. The British icon Isambard Kingdom Brunel, built the Swindon Works which was mostly used for repairs and maintenance of locomotives on the Great Western railway. The Great Western Railway is a small railway village which used to house the employers there.

Swindon is the largest centre of population without a University in the United Kingdom. In March 2008, there was a proposal to build a University as part of the town’s regeneration. There are 12 secondary schools with two of them having built in sixth-form colleges. There are also two colleges: New College and Swindon College to provide further education requirements for 16-21 year olds. Swindon College is the largest in southwestern England. Since 1999, the Oxford Brookes University has had one of its campuses located in Swindon which is next to the Swindon Hospital.

Swindon hosts a large variety of popular festivals which includes the Swindon Festival of literature. This event attracts up to 10,000 visitors a year and lasts for two weeks. Another event includes the Summer Breeze Festival which is a family friendly music event which is run on a non-profit basis. The festival supports local and new talent with a mixture of high quality headliners.

The town is also very passionate about its sport with having a professional Football Club, Ice Hockey team and Speedway team. Swindon Town Football Club play at the County Ground near Swindon Town centre. The club famously one the Football League Cup in 1969 after beating Arsenal 3-1 at the old Wembley Stadium. Swindon Town FC have had one spell in the top league of English football lasting for one season. The Swindon Wildcats play in the second tier of the English Premier Ice Hockey League and play home at the 2800 capacity link centre.
