I'm not sure this Club was actually in Brimble Hill.

The address on the census return just says "Club House, Wroughton".

True, the schedules before it are for Brimble Hill, but the following schedule is for Wood Farm.

Probably best to check A Kelly's directory for that time?

I'm trying to wrack my brain for a club on Brimble Hill, but can't place one, there is an old pub (or was when we left over 5 years ago) and also houses that could have started life as something else.

Fairly near the corner of Devizes Road, Moormead Road and Brimble Hill there is a Working Men's Club.   To try to explain what I mean, driving down Devizes Road, en route for Swindon, you get to a T junction, to the left (towards Swindon) is Moormead Road and to the right is Brimble Hill.  Devizes Road and Moormead Road are the A4361, whilst Brimble Hill is a B road (B4005).

According to Wikipedia the Working Men's Clubs were formed around 1862 so it is possible the address refers to a working men's club.
