Drew Street
This street is typical of many in the Rodbourne area, with a combination of both modern housing, and much older residential properties. The latter date from 1907, and were designed by William Drew, a local architect. The street was named after him. The modern properties in this street are mainly flats, known as Mannington Court, built since the turn of the present century.

Thamesdown Transport depot, Barnfield Road, Swindon
The depot occupies the site that previously was used as a municipal refuse incinerator. It was never that successful and only lasted about 15 years before closing. The bus depot was formerly in the centre of Swindon and the bus company outgrew it after many years there. The land in the foreground was previously an allotment site. Unfortunately, some years ago it was found that the land was contaminated with lead and was vacated. It remains in the local Council's landbank.
Update July 2009: the land in the foreground is being made ready for the construction of a supermarket http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1382636
