Have seen this view many times in my younger days back in the late 1920s and early 30s, just after crossing the footbridge over the river, when on my way to see my dear old gran at Harnham. I can still remember the smell of the old mill.

Viewed from the west, the façade of the west front is dominated by the Great West Window and the Triple Arch Door.The west front of many cathedrals were intended to be showpieces. It is the only part of the cathedral to contain exterior sculptures. Currently, the frontage is undergoing restoration, intended to leave it as it originally looked in AD1260.
Salisbury Photographic Memories
The imposing, dominant, west front of the cathedral is, architecturally, its least satisfying feature. It was much restored in the 19th century. The wall of the cloisters, a feature of monastic buildings, can be seen on the right of the picture, although no monks ever dwelled within these!
In a scene that has changed little in 100 years, the tranquil surface of the River Avon gently reflects the majesty of the Cathedral and its magnificent 404 ft spire, the highest in England. The famous water meadows on the right of the picture still exist: the fields on the left are now the Queen Elizabeth Gardens and open to the public.
