Houses, near Wootton Bassett Road, Swindon
I should know the name of this estate but for the moment I've forgotten it. It dates to the 1990s and the roads therein commemorate the Normandy invasion of 1944 with names such as 'Juno', 'Sword', 'Caen' and 'Utah'.

Motorcyclist, Redposts Drive, Swindon
The Redposts Drive extension seen in this image Image is still not open to through traffic so it is safe enough for a learner rider to hone his riding skills. The bridge can also be seen in this image Image

Bend on the Wilts & Berks canal
Near Rushey Platt nature reserve. The Wilts & Berks canal opened in 1810, linking the Kennet & Avon canal with the River Thames and running right through Swindon. It closed in 1914, but is now partly restored.

Redposts Drive extension, Swindon
A controversial development between the M4 and the existing southern limit of Swindon is underway. The official name is Wichelstowe, more commonly called 'The Front Garden' development. The controversy arises partly because the land is quite low-lying and gets a bit wet sometimes, partly nimbyism and partly concern on the part of the neighbouring town of Wootton Bassett to the west, about the continuing expansion of Swindon towards the smaller town. The bridge in the distance can be seen at an earlier state of construction here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/596922

Bridge over Redposts Drive extension, Swindon
The bridge marks the line once taken by the Midland and Southwestern Junction Railway that ran south-north from Andover to Cheltenham until it closed in 1961. The road that is being built to serve the Wichelstowe development area had to break through the railway embankment necessitating the construction of the new bridge to preserve the right of way that now exists along the old trackbed.
