The Swindon Railway Works was commissioned in 1841 as a repair depot for locomotives using the Great Western Railway by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Daniel Gooch, his locomotive superintendent. The building, dating from 1897, was designed and constructed by the Great Western Railway.
Over the next 100 years, it grew into a large design, fabrication and repair depot for locomotives, which at the time used steam ad later on used diesel, carriages, and wagons. At its peak in 1924, the works employed 14,500 people.
