Calne street name

[ridgehill]

Does anyone know were Eatwells Lane in Calne was. I've checked a map of the current streets and it doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Thanks.

Hi,

I knew I'd seen this address in my tree too - searched & found the person I was thinking of  - then  checked on the 1851 Census. Eatwell Lane  seemed to be off or near Mill Street & close to Butchers Row - Mill Street is still there but I suspect the two smaller lanes have given way to modern buildings - or car parks!

Funnily enough, in 1851 there was a Catherine Eatwell, widow, c 1798 living in Butchers Row, near Eatwells Lane - perhaps the family she married into had property in that lane & it was named for them?

Hope this helps.
