Rear of Malvern Road, Swindon
Malvern Road contains typical 1930s semi-detached houses. When originally built they had rather attractive art deco steel-framed windows. I think they have all been replaced. The alley in the foreground separates Malvern Road from Norman Road, out of shot to the left.

Alley between Norman Road and Malvern Road, Swindon
Norman Road is to the left. Most alleys in Swindon, and there are many in the older parts of the town, are metalled. This one isn't which suggests it has not been adopted. I believe Norman Road was built in the 1920s and, when completed, the backs of the houses on the northern side would have faced open fields with easy access to the back gardens. Malvern Road is a decade or so younger so I would surmise that this alley was left to enable access to the back gardens of Norman Road to continue.

One of a few shots of a derelict allotment site. It seems a local resident has borrowed part of the disused allotment to grow some vegetables.
