Winterslow Road, Penhill, Swindon
Penhill is a local authority housing estate developed in the early to mid 1950s. Swindon Borough Council took advantage of the Town Development Act 1952 to expand at a rapid rate in the post-war years. Most of the houses are three bedroomed terraced but there are low-rise maisonettes and some high-rise development. This is a view to the western edge of the square.

Seagry Court, Penhill, Swindon
The tower block is one of three such blocks in Penhill. Most of the estate was developed in the 1950s but I think the high-rise towers may only date to the 1960s. The estate remains largely under local authority control. The council have so far resisted the temptation to sell their housing stock to housing associations. In common with the other towers, the opportunity has been taken to lease the roof area to telecoms operators.

Winsley Close, Penhill, Swindon
Penhill was the one of the first major post-war council housing estates in Swindon. The smaller estate of Moredon may have pre-dated it. Following Penhill, in the north of the town, the estates of Walcot, Park South and Park North, to the south, began in the mid 1950s. In terms of housing style the estates are indistinguishable, with various examples of system building types. In this view we are looking towards the southern edge of the square, marked by the position of the car on the left. The houses beyond are in Penhill Drive, the main road through the estate.
