It's not so much Swindon specifically as setting being Britain, but it's the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy, especially The World's End, which deals with aging, disillusionment, pining for "good old times", and similar themes.

Swindon seems to be the real world village that Hot Fuzz's fictional village setting "Sanford" is patterned after?
