I didnt know that. and it would explain how they got to work. But I still think that Managers, Clerks and Formen would live at Highworth, and engine fitters and turners would live much closer into Town.
Incidentally there is no Highworth Street, but there is a Highworth Road in Swindon. (That is not to say that 140 years ago the road names were the same.)
Mr Zippy:- It would be great to hear a bit more about your ancestor, eg date of birth and death, or how old he was in 1860?
