Doctors Pond

A Memory of Calne.

I walked across this bridge four times every day, on my way to and from school (I used to go home for lunch). Home was Abberd Way, and the school was on the Green. I used to stop there to watch trout, and I can still recall the smell of flour from the mill. The 'pond' was actually the millrace, and a second stream joined the river at this bridge, from where it flowed south towards the Harris factory and pass under the Strand, to emerge finally next to the Town Hall.
