The even numbers 2 to 14 Harnham Road are a terrace of late 18th/early 19th century houses in three slightly different designs. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1023676 A cathedral was established at the Iron Age hillfort of Old Sarum by the Normans. In 1220 the cathedral was removed to the nearby plain and New Sarum (Salisbury) grew up around it, receiving a city charter in 1227. Located at the confluence of five rivers (Avon, Nadder, Ebble, Wylye and Bourne) the city is prone to flooding. Traffic between the ports of Southampton and Bristol, passes around the city's ring-road via the A36 causing much congestion.
