Norfolk Road is in Harnham, a village on the southern side of Salisbury.
Norfolk Road is on an estate which features all of the counties on the coastline from Norfolk itself, through Suffolk, Essex, Kent and Sussex.
The word ‘Norfolk’ is derived from ‘Northern people’ 1 or, I guess, ‘Northern Folk’ – Suffolk being ‘Southern Folk’.
There is a famous city of Norfolk, in Virginia in the United States, whose website strapline is, rather wonderfully in my view’, ‘Life. Celebrated Daily’.
The ‘Northern Folk’ and ‘Southern Folk’ are shown on an etymological map which is discussed on the ‘Strange Maps’ website.
