Place Names of Calne: Bremhill View

Bremhill View is located off Lickhill road and is a group of terraced houses that leads to Calne Football Club[1], which has been there since the 1960s.

The street itself was built as part of the Calne Borough Council's (disbanded 1974) pre-war Northend estate[2], the first council estate in Calne. All of these houses have a distinctive elongated hexagon style chimney stack, that is not carried on with the more recent developments, such as the 1960s-built, Braemor Road.

The road itself actually faces the beautiful village of Bremhill, which it is named for and lies around 1 mile to the north west.

Note the interesting chimney stacks.
