 Harnham, the Village 1906 (ref. 56377) | This picture is taken at the top of old Harnham Road, looking back down towards the bridge.The cottages on the right are still there today, but much else has changed—and not many people would sit with their children at the side of the road! | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Harnham, the Church 1906 (ref. 56379) | The Victorian Church of All Saints in Harnham was built in 1854 and dedicated to the memory of a former Dean of Salisbury Cathedral. Today, heavy traffic thunders close by on the road in the foreground (the A3094), but drivers do not see the church because of the screen of trees which has grown up along the wall in front of it. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Old Sarum, from the South 1913 (ref. 65294) | This picture is taken from the area of Hudson's field, looking northwards to the hill of Old Sarum. Castle Road (part of the A345 to Amesbury) is on the right, and the Avon Valley is just out of the picture to the left. The scene has not changed too much today, as the suburban growth of New Sarum has stopped short of the site of its neolithic ancestor. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |

 Salisbury, Cathedral, from Old Mill c1955 (ref. S48056) | The Cathedral viewed from the south has been a favourite subject for artists—including, of course, Constable. This particular view is from the Old Mill at Harnham, and shows the Mill itself, the river and the water meadows as well as the Cathedral. Harnham Mill is a very old building, dating from around 1500. Like the first photograph in this book, the timeless beauty of this scene has remained unchanged for more than half a millennium. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
