Calne 1899

Calne became a borough in 1086 and was a prosperpous cloth town in the middle ages, but by the 1890s it was better known for bacon. The town had its own railway branch, shown here with station and Black Dog Siding, and other features include The Strand, workhouse, bacon factory, St Mary`s church, etc. To the west of Calne, vast areas of fields dominate the landscape, which the River Marden and the Wilts & Berks Canal cut through on their way to the heart of the town. Along with Kingsbury Green, all the schools, hospitals, allotments and the town centre are marked on to give you a true
