A view across pastures from the Chiseldon and Marlborough Railway Path. The Marlborough Downs provide the backdrop with (I think) Four Mile Clump prominent.

Former caravan site, near South Farm
Still marked as a caravan site on the online OS map, who knows what it is used for now? The graffiti reads: "Suncream Team". Note the toys at the left of the gate.

Former 'L' Lines, Chiseldon Camp, Chiseldon, Swindon
The field in view is currently pasture. It is situated between an old railway trackbed out of view behind the hedge on the right, and the A346 road to Burbage, south of Marlborough. In 1917 the field was the location of a specialist hospital for the treatment of soldiers who had contracted conditions then collectively called venereal disease (VD) and now known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The sufferers probably called them other things. Treatment in those pre-penicillin days was somewhat hit or miss. One measure involved the use of arsenic injections until it was found that the cure tended to be fatal. Locally 'L' Lines was known as the 'bad boys' camp'. Although it was supposed to be secure there were incidents of soldiers getting out and visiting the brothels of Swindon.

Secure storage area, hidden from public view
Marked as a caravan site on the OS map! I don't think so. This is tucked away from public view in a dip behind the old railway track, which is now a cycle path.
