About Fencing in Calne
Calne in Wiltshire built its identity around a single family firm, C and T Harris, founded in 1770 when the widow Sarah Harris and her ten year old son John opened a small butcher's shop on what is now Church Street. The business grew over generations into one of the country's great bacon curing operations, and at its peak Harris employed some 2,000 people, processing 5,000 pigs a week and producing 100 tonnes of pies, sausages and cooked meats, exporting Wiltshire cured bacon to markets as far afield as America, Australia, India and China. Decades of economic pressure, competition from Danish bacon and underinvestment eventually caught up with the business, and the factory closed in 1982, with the site demolished between 1984 and 1986 and later redeveloped into the library, shops and housing that now occupy the town centre.
