Hartington Road is off from the Devizes Road, which leads out of Salisbury in a north or or perhaps north west direction. I’m not sure why it’s called Hartington Road. Somewhat frustratingly, I think I found a reference to somebody called Hartington owning property in the Mill Road area fairly recently, but I can’t quite . . . → Read More: Hartington Road, Salisbury 
Hartley Way is in the Hampton Park part of Bishopdown Farm, which is the housing estate to the west of the London Road. The London Road itself is north west of salisbury. I don’t know why it might be called ‘Hartley Way’. There is a cluster of roads on Hampton Park whose road names have . . . → Read More: Hartley Way, Salisbury Lees Court is just off from Devizes Road, at the southern end. I don’t know why it’s called Lees Court for sure – but from memory either the Devizes Road shoe repairer’s or the shop on the corner of Ashley Road and Coldharbour Lane was called ‘Lees’. Perhaps there was some connection. Update: I was . . . → Read More: Lees Court, Salisbury Link Way is on Bishopdown, to the north of Salisbury city centre. It’s an odd name for the road, because it’s basically a cul-de-sac. It doesn’t really link anything. It could be that at some stage in the past it did link two roads.

I can’t see any reason for it’s being called Mayfair Road. I can’t see any thematic link with any of the adjoining roads (Napier Crescent,, Beechcroft Avenue, or Greenwood Avenue).

It’s on what is usually referred to as ‘the pebbledash estate’ for the obvious reason that the houses are nearly all pebble-dashed.

It runs between Bouverie Avenue and the Blandford Road. I’ve not been able to find any possible derivations for the name of Meyrick Avenue.
