More about this scene

Parallel with Milford Street and leading to Market Square, this was a major shopping street before the new ring-road turned it into a cul-de-sac. It is full of busy shops, nearly all of which are now closed. Note the almost informal sign directing traffic to London and Southampton.

My dad, Raymond Baker was born in Winchester Street in 1930. His mother was Phyliss Edginton born in Salisbury in 1908. It was a well known man at the time called John William Edginton who lived in Salisbury who is our ancestor. He first came to Salisbury in 1839 and had a brass foundry in Pennyfarthing Street. John William Edginton is my ggg grandfather.
