Quemerford PongGreetings. First post!Just moved to Calne (more or less opposite Trinity school) and on the way through Quemerford this morning I was greeted with a terrible stink starting around The Talbot pub. It's a real nausea inducing smell - reminds me of an oil refinery - and I just wondered if it's normal... could it be coming from the rubbish tip or are there any industrial units in that area? I don't recall any mention on the environmental survey we had done a few months ago. |

There used to be a pig farm round there .i am not sure if there still is .
That is what the smell is though. |

that pig farm smell is awful, although I haven't noticed it for a while, as I think the farm's closed down.
you can see it here on google maps it's pretty much due south of Trinity/Tyning Park, at the end of the The Rise. Otherwise it's probably something a farmer's put on a field. There's a recycling tip in Compton Basset but it generally doesn't small that bad. |

I wonder if this is related, because that smell is still in the air over here near Trinity school... |

there was a real bad smell about two weeks ago in calne and in the surrounding villages .which well could have been that.
your smell though i still reakon could be the pig farm. |

Nah ... It's the tip !
I aws wlaking back from the Talbot the other night and noticed it ! The tip really is closer than you think ! you can hear the lorried beep beep beep reversing on a quiet sunday afternoon ! Something needs doing about it now ! |

Yes, it's the tip. Look at a google map and you will see the extent of it - from Oxford Road across to Quemerford. Also go up to the recycling place at Compton Bassett and have a look at the Red Lake - pure poison!
Rob Ps Animal carcasses were also dumped there during the foot and mouth crisis several years ago. |
