The Milford Street Project has been brilliant in brightening up one side of a rather balnd underpass into the city centre. It’s great news that they have funding to paint a mural on the other side. Congrats to Clare Christopher and all her team.

Comment on Green Lane, Odstock by David Stooke

Green Lane – Odstock

Green Lane is nowadays no more than a very narrow footpath, between the Odstock Road and the Coombe Bissett road. The path runs through a strip of woodland but before 1990 (approx) it was a wide grassy bridleway, edged with hedgerows either side. Between 1972 and 1983 it was home to a group of people living in caravans known as the “Green Laners” or the “Laners” for short. This was not a gypsy encampment, but a hippy community (althougth I’m sure some of the Laners would be cheesed off to be called hippies!). It lasted 11 glorious years, for the majority of the time “off the radar”, causing no trouble, and ignored by the local house-owning population (Britain was much more tolerant in those days). I first got to know the Lane in 1981, when a student at Salisbury College of Art.
It was evicted in 1983, a sad occasion and an early example of the crackdown by the government that was to be waged against anyone not “toeing the line”. Despite the original community broken up and dispersed, it was regularly “parked” on by other new age travellers, cheekily staying until a new eviction notice was served. This went on sporadically until around 1990, when the council, fed up with the game of cat and mouse that was being played, blocked off the ends with piles of earth. The hedgerows gradually spread and grew until they became the trees and bushes that now obliterate the wide expanse, leaving just the footpath.
