Place Names of Calne: Braemor Road


Braemor Road was built, along with Corfe Crescent c. 1960s. It is a development of primarily 3 bedroom semi-detached and terraced housing.

The name seems to be conflated and abbreviated from the names of the builders, the Property Register only lists Morley, however in private conversations the name 'Bradley' has been recollected. There a precedents for this name in Churchtown, Dublin, in the 1940s and 1950s[1], which is perhaps where Morley, a Bristol-based builder, got the idea.
