Macklin Road is to the north of Salisbury, close to the Devizes Road.
Macklin Road is probably named after James Macklin who was Mayor of Salisbury six times 1, including during the First World War.
He was born in 1864. He was knighted in 1920 and was made a freeman of the City in 1921. He died in 1944.
I saw a poignant quote by Macklin at the end of the First World War, but I’m afraid I’ve not been able to find it. When and if I do so, I’ll update this post. In the meantime, if you know the one I mean, please point me in the right direction!
