Alexandra Park, Swindon
This relatively small development of new houses is on the site of a former RAF hospital. The stone and plaque at the lower left of the image can be seen in close-up here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/837750 There is quite a large abstract sculpture present as well.

Commemorative plaque, Alexandra Park, Swindon
The plaque is attached to a sarsen stone. The hospital that once stood here took casualties from various theatres of war from 1941 until closure. These theatres are reflected in the road names in the new housing development that has risen in its place. One of the more well-known patients to be treated here was the Welsh guardsman Simon Weston, severely wounded aboard the Sir Galahad in the South Atlantic conflict of 1982. One of the roads is Falklands Road.

Whittingham Drive, Alexandra Park, Wroughton
This new development has gone up on a brownfield site. Here it has the appearance of modern bit of suburbia but is actually pleasantly located in farmland beneath the downs.

Falklands Road, Alexandra Park, Wroughton
Part of a new development in the countryside to the south of Swindon. The housing doesn't have the uniform appearance that you sometimes see. It's also nice to see flints incorporated into modern architecture.
