Over the past year, Swindon has been through two lockdowns and is currently going through its third. 

That's not even taking into account the Tier 3 restrictions briefly placed on the town between Christmas and New Year. 

Below we showcase what Swindon looked like throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, starting with the first national lockdown in March.
