Carriage Works No 7 Shop

Carriage Works No. 7 Shop is an industrial building located on London Street in Swindon, constructed between 1870 and 1880 for the Great Western Railway. The structure features rock-faced snecked Fox's wood rubble with Bath stone quoins, string courses, and window dressings. It has slate roofs with apex glazing and ventilation cowls. The street elevation consists of 15 bays arranged in five groups of three, and the building is two storeys high, with the ground floor supported by cast iron columns. The first floor has brick segmental window heads, which include corniced keystones and multiple pivot lights, while the ground level has glazed doors.

Internally, the ground floor is supported by iron joists on cast iron columns, which carry brick segmental vaults. The upper floor features eight bays of cast iron round section keeled stanchions, which are lugged at storey heights and support I-section plates and light steel angle trusses. There are six panes in the windows, and similar columns are placed at intervals on the external side walls. The wall facing London Street adjoins No. 8 Shop on the right and the trimming shop on Emlyn Square on the left.
