Milford Street Bridge is a large flyover, which carries the Salisbury’s ring-road (A36). It was built in the early 1970s. Following the success of the first mural (Image]) painted on the southern wall of the bridge by The Milford Street Bridge Project http://www.milfordstreetbridgeproject.org.uk/index.php in 2011, a second mural was painted on the Northern Wall in 2012, to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. This mural shows how Salisbury has celebrated royal events over the years. The foreground of the mural is a framework of trees representing those planted in the Market Square and Victoria Park to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. Photographs of the individual scenes within the mural can be seen at http://www.milfordstreetbridgeproject.org.uk/content/category/the-murals/the-jubilee-mural/scenes-in-the-jubilee-mural (Milford Street Bridge Project).
