Blue Plaque for Great Western Medical Fund, Swindon, Wiltshire



This building was the Great Western Railway's Medical Fund hospital and is of international importance so it is good to see it recognised with a blue plaque.  The plaque was unveiled by Mike Atwell (grandson of one of the Fund's commissioners) and Mayor Junab Ali on 16th September 2018 next to what was the original main entrance to the baths on Faringdon Road.   The plaque was organised (via fundraising) by the Swindon Heritage team and the plaque unveiled on Swindon Civic Open Day.

Photographs of the building can be seen at:  Milton Road Health Hydro
