As might be inferred, this road once led to Chiseldon Station, an important stop on the old Midland and Southwestern Junction Railway (M&SWJR) which closed in 1961. The image shows a mix of traditional thatched cottages and local authority (or ex-local authority) houses built for the long-defunct Highworth Rural District Council, subsumed in 1974 into the then Thamesdown Borough Council, now Swindon Borough Council, a unitary authority.
