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 kilometres) away in the Wessex Downs, and it is the only town on that river. During the time of the 2011 Census, Calne boasted a resident population of about 17,000 inhabitants. Ever since the end of the 1990s, Calne developed dramatically in contrast to most other towns in the South West area. The Lansdowne Park property development, completed at the end of 2008, has substantially enhanced the physical size of the town, developing a completely new north-western suburb. This incorporates a new primary school, a medical centre and a compact shopping area including a mix of shops. Such redevelopment has drawn in professional workers from traditionally more well off areas including Bath, Bristol, Marlborough and even 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 particular note is Calne Library, opened by the Queen in 2001, which has won prizes for its ingenious style. Ever since the demolition of the Harris pork factory and the conclusion of the first stage of redevelopment regeneration in 2001, Calne has seen Cotswold stone, much like local limestone, being worked with in addition to smart red brickwork, formerly saved for fine traditional buildings.
