Abbey View Road, Moredon, Swindon
This part of Abbey View Road is on the eastern edge of Moredon, a municipal housing estate dating from the 1950s. The road is so named because it may once have been possible to see Blunsdon Abbey, a few kilometres to the north. The older houses in the background are in Church Walk North, in the Cheney Manor area of Swindon. These are private houses.

Rodbourne Arms, Whitworth Road, Swindon
The pub was built in 1905 and was, until recently, quite well-known and apparently successful. However, it has been unable to escape the trend for pubs to close their doors for the last time and the previous owners of the Rodbourne Arms, Punch Taverns, closed it earlier in 2011. Planning permission has been granted to the new owners for its demolition and replacement with a frozen foods retail outlet. Update: October 2011 and it's gone
