Little Ben in Fisherton Street, Salisbury

This is a slightly gloomy looking picture of the Clock Tower in Fisherton Street. It's known to some as 'Little Ben'. It was built on the site of the old jail. You can see a carved ball and chain type arrangement on one side of the tower. The tower itself though was built by a Dr Roberts as a memorial to his wife.

Kings Arms Hotel, Salisbury

This is the Kings Arms, in St John St in Salisbury. I saw the late Ted Heath in here one New Years Eve.

Godolphin School badge, Salisbury

This is the badge of the Godolphin School. The interesting thing about it is the motto:

     'Franc Ha Leal Eto Ge'

...which is Cornish for

      'Frank and Loyal Thou Art'

Crane Street Bridge, Salisbury

This is the Crane Street Bridge. It goes back to the 15th Century and is Grade I listed. The thing I like about this view is that it makes the Avon look really big and wide.

There's a much better photo, of the other side of the bridge, here: "Crane bridge, Salisbury" Fine Art Print by Colin Hollywood [1167039-3] - RedBubble

Rivers know this...

This sign has been put up on the path alongside the Avon, near Waitrose. I quite like it.

This photo, from 1894, shows the High Street Gate from the High Street, looking into the Close. On the left you would now see the National Trust and the SPCK shops.

I think this is taken from where Yorkshire Fisheries is now - across the road from the City Hall.

Saint Nicholas Hospital

Saint Nicholas' Hospital is now an old people's home. Part of it pre-dates the start of the building of the Cathedral.
