Calne is a town and civil parish in Wiltshire, southwestern England, at the north western extremity of the North Wessex Downs hill range. A marked Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Calne is situated on a little river, the Marden, which rises 2 miles (3 km) away in the Wessex Downs, and it is the only town on that river. As measuring during the 2011 Census, Calne had a permanent population of roughly 17,274 citizens. Ever since the end of the 1990s, Calne developed rapidly in contrast to many other towns in the South West area. The Lansdowne Park property development, finalised at the end of 2008, has greatly enhanced the physical scale of the town, creating an entirely new north-western suburban area. This consists of a new primary school, a medical centre and a compact shopping area consisting of a mixture of shops. This redevelopment has attracted professional workers from historically more well off areas including Bath, Bristol, Marlborough and as far afield as the 'silicon valley' towns of central Berkshire. Remarkable buildings in the town include St Mary's Church, a selection of houses on The Green, and the town hall. Of special note is Calne Library, opened by the Queen in 2001, which has won accolades for its cutting-edge design. Ever since the demolition of the Harris pork factory and the completion of the initial phase of redevelopment regeneration in 2001, Calne has seen Cotswold stone, much like local limestone, being utilised together with smart red brickwork, formerly reserved for fine historic buildings.
