National Poetry Day - Wiltshire

As part of National Poetry Day, Swindon Poet, Michael Scott, wrote the poem 'From the Treetops of the Mechanics' Institute'. He performs it outside the building, which closed in the 1980s. The council put a temporary roof on it but the site remains vacant to this day, and formed the inspiration for his piece.
