A closer look at houses in Ramsbury Avenue, Penhill, Swindon
Using the zoom feature of my camera reveals little signs of these modern times. Satellite TV dishes are everywhere now beaming the dirty digger's output into homes the world over. The deployment of a CCTV camera on a modest terraced house tells us much about the fear of crime nowadays. Neither feature was in anyone's mind when the estate was developed over 50 years ago.

Westwood Road, Penhill, Swindon
The street-naming theme in Penhill is Wiltshire towns and villages. Westwood is a village near the county border with Bath and North-East Somerset. The three-storey block at the left contains quite roomy maisonettes. Penhill has benefited from a mid-life update carried out by the Council as can be seen from the external appearance of the block.
