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.

Rose Street
The older parts of Rodbourne were laid out on a grid pattern, with mainly terraced housing. In recent years there has been much infilling and extension, with modern housing, some of which has been built on the sites of demolished buildings, or on former allotment land. Rose Street is typical in containing both old and new housing stock.

Morris Street, Rodbourne
This is part of the pedestrianised section of Morris Street, looking towards its junction with Morrison Street. The result of the pedestrianisation of many streets here is that, at times, it is very difficult for residents to park their cars. A problem exacerbated by having to compete with shoppers at the nearby Swindon Designer Outlet who want to avoid paying car parking fees. For the view in the other direction:

Percy Street (pedestrianised section), Rodbourne
The middle part of the street has been pedestrianised. As part of this process some buildings on the left were demolished. They were replaced partly by the grassed area, and partly by a new terrace of homes built at right angles to the rest of the street. The buildings on the left in this view are part of that terrace.
