Phone Box, Charter Road
A bit worn out looking, but still there. Probably not for long though. BT are planning to remove it, according to the blue notice inside.

Burnt-out house on Rowden Hill
This once substantial house in a well-to-do suburb of Chippenham was set alight by a former owner in August 2011 and gutted. Plans are proposed to demolish the remains of it and develop the site https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/23377892.uncertainty-future-derelict-chippenham-house-rowden-hill/ but as yet nothing has happened. Taken from Erleigh Drive on the other side of the A4.

The road to the east
The A4 road seen from its junction with Gladstone Road. This was, of course, the main road between Bristol and London before the construction of the M4 motorway. It is difficult to conceive of the volume of traffic that now thunders along the M4 on this quiet road in the centre of a large town.

Meadows near Chippenham
Dog-walking territory in the Avon valley; the nearby public footpath northwards seems hardly used. In the distance is the bridge carrying the A4 across the river.
