There have been two paths known as ‘Green Lane’ in the Salisbury area. One is the track on the hill between Odstock and Salisbury, near the Hospital. I’ll cover that in the next post.
Green Lane Close and Green Lane are to the north of Salisbury. Green Lane runs from Bishopdown, near the London Road to the Portway.
At the Bishopdown end, Green Lane is a path, but it turns into a road after it crosses the road between Old Sarum and Ford.
I would guess Green Lane here is a reference to the old path being rural, or perhaps grassy, but I don’t know.
‘Green-laning‘ as a verb seems to mean driving over rough lanes in ‘Land Rover’ type vehicles.
