Description
The Old Fire Station, located at the rear of the Town Hall in Calne, is a fire station built in the late 19th century. It features a combination of limestone ashlar and coursed rubble, with an ashlar gable stack and a pantile half-hipped roof. The building has a rectangular plan and stands two storeys tall with a one-window range. The corners are clasped with ashlar, and there is a ground-floor cornice that creates a full-height round-headed archway. The ground floor is made of ashlar with a plinth, while the upper part is constructed from rubble. At the Patford Street end, there is a lower two-storey ashlar range on the right, which includes a door on the right side and paired first-floor windows framed in architraves. The interior has not been inspected. This building is included for its group value with the Town Hall.
