Curzon Street, CALNE, SN11 0DG

On Curzon Street, (A4) are this pair of attractive houses. From the town centre the route leads through mostly modern housing before meeting open countryside after crossing the recently built A3102. After passing Calne Sewage Works and crossing both the abandoned Wilts and Berks canal and the River Marden the route joins the dismantled Calne Branch railway which is followed back to the town centre where it crosses the canal again. About 3½ miles.

A terrace of smart houses on Curzon Street, one for sale another already sold. Heading west out of Calne to Derry Hill and Chippenham.

It says Coopers on the old wall so is probably still them, there are no other signs about.

The road to the left was formerly the A3102 to Lyneham which is now routed via a bypass. Believe the A4 is soon to join it if not already done so.

On this August evening central Calne was adorned with striking displays of flowers in beds (seen here on either side of Curzon St) and hanging baskets (one of which is just visible). The town council is proud of this initiative and has won awards in the RHS South West in Bloom competition. https://www.calne.gov.uk/calne-in-bloom/

Near the junction of Oxford Road and the A4. A Lyneham to Chippenham bus pulls into the stop, a shopping arcade is behind it. The Wheatsheaf can be found on various websites.
