Salisbury Road, Chilmark

Salisbury Road, the main road through Chilmark, is the B3809 that runs east-west from the A30 at Barford St Martin to the A303 trunk road near West Knoyle. This was once the earliest road west from Salisbury when as a turnpike it went onto Shaftesbury. The road however was allowed to expire in 1788 when a new turnpike, now the route of the present A30, was constructed. The Black Dog, the village's public house, can be seen in the distance, in Image, as the road curves to the left.
