Maryland Close is on Bemerton Heath, to the north of Salisbury city centre.
(If you’ve arrived here after searching for Salisbury in Maryland in the USA then you might want to go to the City of Salisbury, Maryland website, although you’re more than welcome to have a look around my website on Salisbury, England! )
I don’t know why Maryland Close in Salisbury is so-called.
It could be a reference to the American state of Maryland, which itself was named after Henrietta Maria (1609-69) the wife of English King Charles I (1).
A reference to Maryland rather than any of the other 49 states might be because there is another City of Salisbury in Maryland (2), but there are no other roads in the area named on either the theme of the United States (sadly no Hawaiian Avenue) or on the theme of other cities called Salisbury (no New South Wales Street).
Another alternative is that Maryland Close was named after the developer or a relation of the developer.
