This event is hosted by The Swindon Society.
From its very beginnings the Society has attempted to record the social history of the area as shown by the camera since the 1850’s.
The collection contains photographic material on many subjects including the GWR Swindon, Swindon Tramway system, Wilts & Berks Canal, Swindon in both World Wars, school groups, areas of the town including Old Town, Gorse Hill, Rodbourne, surrounding villages and much more.
The collection now numbers 15,000 plus images and is used to illustrate presentations to local groups.
Meetings are held at Goddard Park School, Welcombe Avenue, Park North, Swindon SN3 2QN, commencing at 7.30pm.
The meetings take the form of image presentations by members or visiting speakers, followed by a free hot beverage and a biscuit. The annual fee for membership is £15, which includes free entry to our meetings and a monthly newsletter. For ad hoc visitors, the entry fee is £3.00.
