Shakespeare Road SP1

The derivation of the name of ‘Shakespeare Road’ is that it is in the village of Stratford-sub-Castle and William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon.

The Salisbury Stratford is actually on the Avon (although a different Avon), but was named instead in reference to the fact that it is physically below (‘sub‘) Old Sarum (the ‘castle‘).<
