It was on the opposite side of Swindon. Actually the former Hyatt Regency was demolished just a few years ago and in its place now stood an awkward shopping arcade called i-square. It is really quite a 'square' place with so many escalators and passages. Maybe it's just me, I don't like its layout.

philk - as you may have gathered too, fb is my preferred site for uploading images (just so easy to do). also you don't have to be a fb member to visualise the links as i have removed all the privacy settings. maybe when gwulo makes it as simple, i will do the same - cheers
Hi Vanessa, I can't seem to do it, it just keeps telling me I need to login. No worries, I'll try badger someone with an FB account to let me have a peek. Cheers Phil

Which bit is the front?
Which part was on Nathan Road - the side with the slope, or the side with the name?
Neither!
The sloped entrance ramps for cars were on Lock Road, and the side with the President sign would be Peking Road.
O.I.C...
Thanks.
Lock Road must've been a busy place considering it's a fairly skinny road. Does anyone have any pics?
re:O.I.C...
Was it on the same block as Swindon? I can't imagine such a huge building on Lock Road either.

Hi there,
It was on the opposite side of Swindon. Actually the former Hyatt Regency was demolished just a few years ago and in its place now stood an awkward shopping arcade called i-square. It is really quite a 'square' place with so many escalators and passages. Maybe it's just me, I don't like its layout.
Best Regards,

Cheers Annelise. So now I can see the ramp. Even now I can't believe Lock Road had so much space. It feels really closed in these days.
