The History of Walcot and Parks Exhibition
On Tuesday the Pride in Place team held the Walcot and Parks Heritage Day at the Buckhurst Community Centre. It was a really interesting exhibition where you could see the photographic history of Walcot and Parks from the late 1800s – present day. Residents had the chance to walk through the gallery, viewing the history decade by decade, and speak with the curator, members of the Pride in Place team and Neighbourhood Chair Jessica Higgins.
The collection was put together by local resident, Margaret, and the event was run by the Pride in Place team as part of Heritage Open Days which is a national charity that celebrates heritage and culture. Walcot and Parks residents had the opportunity to submit photos. we’d like to thank everyone who did.
Margaret is now looking to create a Walcot and Parks history group in January to continue celebrating and documenting the heritage! Email our Community Engagement Officer, Millie, at engagement@southswindon-pc.gov.uk if you’d like to get involved.
Huge thank you to Margaret and the Pride in Place team for putting the event on. To our other volunteers, Terry and Darren. And to all those that contributed photos and helped. It was fascinating to walk through the history of the area and hear all about it.

First grass cut of the season at GWR Park, after the hot weather.
Our team have started cutting the grass again as conditions improve, we're expecting the field and edges of the park to be done in a few weeks by tractor and ride on mowers.
While we are still waiting for some patches of the grass and shrubs to come back, our 4-tier planter is thriving again now that the weather has cooled. We've also been cutting the hedges in time for winter, now that bird nesting season is over.
