Swindon Learning Town

Swindon has a rich intellectual history, with its roots in the creation of the railways and the birth-place of the NHS. 

Swindon’s motto, ‘Health and Industry’ reflects this and its people have always worked to support each other and the town. 

Here is a potted history of some of those people:

• Alfred Williams
• Richard Jefferies
• David Murray John
• David Hempleman-Adams
• Diana Dors
• Libby Jackson
• Daniel Gooch
