More about this scene
The View to Bridge Street This section of Regent Street is immediately to the north of the McIlroy's store. On the corner of Havelock Street and to the left stood Anstiss & Co Ltd, drapers, which stood here until the 1960s when it suffered two major fires, the second of which destroyed the premises completely. On the right is the Arcadia Cinema, which later became the Classic cartoon cinema. The HMV store now stands on this site. At centre-right is Morse's department store, 10/12 Regent Street. This was the second of Swindon's major stores for many years (with McIlroy's) and was owned by the Morse family of Old Town. W H Smith has occupied this site from 1973.
