Rollalong was proud to join Wiltshire Council and local partners last week to celebrate the official naming of Maud Davies Close in Corsley Heath, a new development of eight modular homes, including five social housing units and three shared ownership homes.

It reflects Wiltshire Council’s commitment to support local communities.
While traditional house construction methods often face significant challenges with delays, inconsistent quality, and logistical complexities of building trades, this project successfully overcame those obstacles by using Rollalong’s advanced modular building techniques. Through precision engineering and off-site manufacturing, the project ensured the timely delivery of high-quality homes, meeting the needs of residents with efficiency and excellence.
I was honoured to accept on behalf of the Corsley Parish Council a commemorative book written by Maud Davies a renowned past village resident, after whom the development is named.
It marks this achievement and the teamwork behind it.

The naming of Maud Davies Close recognises Maud Frances Davies, a pioneering sociologist and author of Life in an English Village (1909), one of the earliest in-depth studies of rural life in Britain. Born locally, Davies meticulously documented the social and economic life of Corsley, making a lasting contribution to social research. This naming honours her legacy and her connection to the village, celebrating Corsley’s heritage while recognising her role in preserving its history.
