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.

My Family
My father's family lived in Charlton from the late 1880s to the mid 1900s. My grandfather was a shepherd & after farm foreman for a Mr Charles Reid whose brother Bertie also had a large farm in the Charlton area. The village had a school which I attended in my early years & a village shop & bakery also selling haberdashery, my cousin Dorothy Dorothy West worked there. The baker was a Mr Duffy, the owner of the shop was a Mr Hodges. I was in the church choir. The vicar was a Mr Winterton & by the vicarage you could cut through to the Trafalgar Estate across beautiful meadows, in the meadow there was a lovely walnut tree where you ...read more here

Extracts From Harnham & Wiltshire books
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!

At this time, Harnham has something of an identity of its own.
Harnham Bridge crossed the Hampshire Avon just south of Salisbury
between the twin hamlets of East and West Harnham. The former was
a parish in its own right. Now it is all part of Salisbury, and the village
is disappearing into the city.

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.

The importance of Salisbury to the military establishment
after the war can be seen in this picture of Fish Row, just
behind the Guildhall. A Pickfords lorry is fighting its way
along the narrow street, possibly heading for the Military
Tailors in the left foreground, or to the Servicemen’s Hostel
next door.

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.
