I don’t know what the derivation of this road name is. Purely anecdotally, ‘Tryhorn’ seems to be a name that’s more common in the Salisbury area than it is in others.
If you have any idea why this road is named ‘Tryhorn Drive’, please let me know.

Possible TRYHORNs who might have merited having a drive named after them:
Philip TRYHORN, born 1818, Laverstock and died 1910 at Rollestone Street, Salisbury. By 1881 he was a master contractor and builder employing 38 men.
The most likely candidate is one of Philip´s grandsons Frederick Gerald TRYHORN (known in the family as Frank), 1893-1972. He was a forensic pathologist and lecturer and worked as Forensic Science Adviser for the Home Office. He was well-known for his innovative work on fingerprinting. On 8 June 1963 he was awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (see London Gazette of 31 May 1963).
My own uncle Bertram TRYHORN 1913-1984 was awarded the Military Medal in 1946 (see London Gazette of 24 January 1946). He was then in the Royal Regiment of Artillery (Salisbury).
I hope this has been of some help.
