Houses in Raleigh Avenue, Walcot, Swindon
Raleigh Avenue is named after Sir Walter Raleigh, the famous Elizabethan who discovered tobacco and potatoes. Despite these accomplishments he was beheaded in 1618 because some Spaniard demanded it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Raleigh Although most of the estate was intended for Londoners displaced from the capital in the post-war years, occasionally others were allocated homes here. The house at the right was occupied by the photographer from 1956 to 1962 when his father moved to the town from the Midlands to take up a new job in the town.
