The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the differences between these two towns using population, crime rates, average house price and transport links. The most notable difference between the two towns is their population. Swindon used to be a small village, and until the mid-19th century only had a population of just over 1000. In 1841 The Great Western Railway then built an engine establishment, making Swindon in to a railway town and in turn attracting people to live there for the work prospects, and by the turn of the century Swindon was an industrial town with a population of 45,000.
