🛠 Cricketers Project Update 🛠 The lounge area is progressing well and looking vibrant, whilst the cellar has been fitted with new utilities and disabled access. There is much, much more to do, but together, we are making restoration a reality ✨️
Heritage is vitally important to all Swindonians, and we are pleased to see the Mechanics' Institution rightly classed as a priority for restoration. Let's bring back our heritage!

It's #NationalParkWeek! What better way to celebrate than to visit #GWR Park, shown here in this beautiful vintage #postcard from the @MuseumandArt collection. GWR Park is Swindon’s oldest dedicated public park and is a part of @SwindonCouncil Heritage Action Zone.
🐇 Find that Easter bunny! 🐰 Visit the Railway Village Museum on Saturday 30th March to learn about Victorian Easter traditions and discover how nineteenth century Swindonians lived and worked! We are open 11am to 3pm. #easter2024 #heritage #swindon
Interesting article from The Ink on the need for local authorities to ensure that heritage assets and historic buildings, like the Mechanics, remain protected for future generations - we agree! theinkswindon.substack.com/p/councils-sho…
A big thank you to @SwindonCouncil for taking the initiative and removing the overgrown vegetation from around the Mechanics' Institution. Progress is being made, and we truly believe this is the start of a new chapter for the Mechanics'!

@leefer3 i think i went to a Beer festival there many many years ago lol
@leefer3 I used to go Ballroom dancing with my Grandparents here on a Saturday night in the 80's 🥰 I remember everyone being very excited when "Larry Slade" was playing.
@leefer3 Watched my Dad in various plays and musicals there in the 1960s, including Calamity Jane.
@leefer3 I used to play snooker there, back in the day.
@leefer3 So many happy nights with our dad playing Skittles and snooker. A bottle of coke and packet of crisps to do the 'Stick-up' for each game
@leefer3 The Mechanics Institute should be the beating, cultural heart of Swindon Give the bloke his quid back and restore it to it's former Victorian splendour. Also, the Corn Exchange up the hill, too.
@leefer3 My grandmother loved the theatre there. Many friends played table tennis there. Must be restored as a centre for the town.
@leefer3 My dad use to practice in the brass band there in the 70's. Remember exploring in there with few other other band members children. Massive inside.
The Mechanics Institute Built 1855 Come on #Swindon we can do better than this
Yes! the boards have gone and we have our new frontage.
@mechanics_trust @SwindonCouncil @jimrobbins @strinkovsky It looks so much better!
Happy First Day of Spring! 💐 This image of 'The Picturesque West Country' from 1924 is getting us in the spring spirit. This image comes from the comes from a souvenir booklet produced by the GWR to coincide with the 1924 British Empire Exhibition. l8r.it/1RFo
