West End - Shrivenham Locale

The area known as West End in Shrivenham is exactly as the name suggests, the western end of the village. It contains a junction where the main road heading towards Swindon meets the road that headed to the former railway station. However, a major change took place circa 1950 when the Swindon road was straightened, but in order to faciliate this, a cottage that stood on the jucntion was demolished. Fortunately, we have photos of the building.
