Terraced houses in Horace Street, Rodbourne, Swindon
The houses in this short street, like most of those in Rodbourne, were built in Victorian times. The street was built on the site of North Laines Farmhouse. The houses have front doors which open directly onto the pavement. For many decades the housing in Rodbourne was mainly occupied by employees of the former Great Western Railway works and their families.

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.

Land in Groves Street, Rodbourne, Swindon
This land, which was at one time part of the car park for the now closed Famous Ale House, seems to be in the process of redevelopment. This would almost certainly be for housing.
