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.

Pylon and Small Tree
Several strips of undeveloped land are to be found in this area. Possibly thought too steep to build on, they provide a bit of open space for local residents.
