Linslade Street, Rodbourne, Swindon
Linslade Street is typical of the many streets of terraced housing to be found in Rodbourne. Many of the houses have had modern double glazed PVC windows installed, as can be seen here. The houses mainly date from Victorian and Edwardian times but there are quite a number of modern examples in some of the streets. Rodbourne still retains its distinct community feel being separated from the town centre by the main railway line.
