This picture shows the County Hotel and Fisherton Bridge in 1928. Not much has changed since the photo was taken. The County Hotel looks much the same. It’s now owned by Wetherspoon’s – I think they may have changed the name of it, but . . . → Read More: County Hotel, Salisbury
By admin, on October 16th, 2009% Milford Hill is on the eastern side of Salisbury.
I think it’s fair to say that ‘Milford Hill’ denotes both the hill itself and a specific road.
The road called Milford Hill runs eastwards from Milford Street, in the centre of Salisbury, towards Milford and Laverstock.

By admin, on October 11th, 2009% This is one of the four gates into the Cathedral Close. It’s the one that I tend to forget about. It’s not open to the public, and because it’s usually shut it isn’t as photogenic as the others. That’s my excuse anyway.

This old picture of the Blue Boar Row in Salisbury shows the old Cadena Cafe, which was in the space now occupied by the Pizza Hut. The word ‘Cadena’ can mean several things – a family name, a chain, or a dance . . . → Read More: The Blue Boar Row in the 1950s
By admin, on October 11th, 2009% This is one of the Red Lions from the hotel in Milford Street. According to the website, the Red Lion is possibly the oldest hotel in continuous use in England, and therefore conceivably the oldest in the world.

By admin, on October 8th, 2009% Milford Manor Gardens is at the eastern end of Shady Bower, at the bottom of the hill.
It is named in reference to Milford Manor – it’s possible that the land on which the road was built was once part of the Manor’s gardens.

By admin, on October 6th, 2009% Milford Mill Road is in Milford, which is a suburb to the east of Salisbury city centre.
Milford Mill Road runs from the bottom of Shady Bower, over Milford Bridge, then out towards Petersfinger.
