This aerial picture taken October 2003
shows Victoria Drive, Ash Close and Elm Close. These
relatively new properties were part of the Preston Vale
housing to be built by Bloor Homes of Swindon in 1990.
The estate is commonly known as the Victoria Drive estate
with tributary side cul-de-sac roads. Victoria Drive
runs from the bottom left of the image meandering to
the top right. Ash Close joins on the left with the
three bright red cars. Elm Close joins approximately
100 metres further on the right hand side.
Britannia Close with the cream coloured terrace buildings
at the top of the image, were former families accommodation
for the MoD. These properties were part of the 57,600
national surplus married quarter purchase by Annington
Homes in November 1996.
