Oldfield Road is on the Bishopdown Farm estate, to the north-east of Salisbury.
There are two possibilities for the derivation of the name of Oldfield Road. Either it was named after an ‘old field’, or it was named after a person with the surname ‘Oldfield’.
Of the two possibilities, it seems to me to be reasonably clear that Oldfied Road is named after the latter i.e. a person called Oldfield.
The reason for this is that there are several other roads named after surnames in the immediate area: Tryhorn Drive, Aldworth Drive and Dunley Way, among others.
