Summary
| Description |
English: Bridge near Pound Farm Carrying Stanley Lane over the cycleway, which follows the disused Chippenham-to-Calne branch line. Just beyond the bridge was once Stanley Bridge Halt, and here the cycleway follows the lane for a short distance before rejoining the track bed most of the way to Calne.
The Calne branch line was opened in October 1863 and had always been busy despite its short length. Large numbers of passengers plus freight services for Calne businesses (including Harris pork pies), local farms, and the military establishments at Yatesbury and Compton Basset, did not save it from the Beeching axe. Freight working ended in November 1964 and passenger trains ended in September 1965. |
