Salisbury, Wiltshire

the Town Path

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.

Street Where I Live

Nice to see that not a lot has chnaged since this photo was taken to what it is like to day.
More cars and people now of course.

The Old School

My place of work. I have done a lot of work on collecting archive photos and making electronic copies of some of the many fascinating letters and articles written by the old girls 1880's to present.

Does anybody remember Gibbs Mew Grewery on Gigant Street?

Salisbury Pocket Album

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!

50 Classics - Cathedrals

This classic view of Salisbury Cathedral has changed little in over a hundred years. The tranquil surface of the River Avon gently reflects the majesty of the cathedral and its incomparably magnificent 404-foot spire, the tallest in England. The famous water meadows on the right still exist; the fields on the left are now the Queen Elizabeth Gardens.
