This is a slight departure for this website – I’m going to have a go at doing occasional more general posts.
There’s a bunch of stuff that I thought I might usefully cover:
- pointers to pages that I’ve updated
- where I’ve found the information
- the technical side of the website
- interesting bits of etymology
- interesting bits about Salisbury that don’t necessarily relate to particular road names
- general news about Salisbury and Stonehenge
I’m going to aim to do this weekly, but I’ll see how it goes.
What I’ve recently been ‘researching’
Over the last couple of weeks the most significant bits of work have been on
New Zealand Avenue
New Canal
Neville Close
Upcoming are a couple of puzzles:
Nelson Road – in particular, its proximity to Hamilton Road
Netheravon Road – it points in the wrong direction
Recently updated pages
I’ve re-written the entry for Saxon Road – it’s named in reference to a Saxon burial site.
I’ve updated the entries for Romer Road and Radcliffe Road, Salisbury. I found some further information about both of these in an old booklet on the history of Harnham published by the Women’s Institute.
I embedded a map into the page for Old Sarum Business Park
