Penhill is a local authority housing estate developed in the early to mid 1950s. Swindon Borough Council took advantage of the Town Development Act 1952 to expand at a rapid rate in the post-war years. Most of Penhill sits on relatively high ground in the northern part of the town but falls away north into a valley through which a small watercourse runs. Minety Road takes the visitor into the valley.
