Green Man at Wetherspoons

This is the Green Man which appears on the cover of Salisbury Civic Society’s ‘Salisbury in Detail‘ book. It is on the north-facing side of the Kings Arms pub – otherwise known as either ‘Spoonies’ or, formerly, the County Hotel.

The picture below shows the Green Man in context. The foliage on the opposite corner of the window is just foliage – there is no Jack o’ the Green hiding there as far as I can see.

There are seven other Green Men in Salisbury (out of more than 100 across Wiltshire) photographed on the rather wonderful Wiltshire Green Men website.

Incidentally, either there’s another version of the same Green Man at the Kings Arms or the picture was reversed for the cover of the book (which I would highly recommend).
