Rocks and Cameras, Islandsmead
In the middle of a district made up of short cul de sacs and terraces all interconnected by a maze of footpaths.
These are all marked on the map, with the result that on some editions this neighbourhood shows up as a sort of green colour because there are so many.
The rocks look like Sarsens, a naturally occurring hard sandstone found on the chalk Downs near here.

Morrisons supermarket, Eldene Swindon (1 of 2)
There is already one Morrisons outlet in Swindon, on the north side. Soon there will be two more including this one, scheduled to open in a few weeks. Wm Morrison Supermarkets plc is now the fourth largest supermarket chain in the UK measured by market share behind Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda but ahead of the Co-op. After a rocky period in the mid 2000s the group is on the up again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrisons
