A36 at Dead Maids Junction
A junction with the A3098. These days the crossing is grade separated, the A3098 passing over the bridge ahead, and with widely separated connecting slip roads. The slip for the northbound A36 is just behind the viewpoint, and uses the old road alignment, meeting the A3098 at the original Dead Maids Crossroads. A late 17th century farmhouse called Summerstead is there, it was originally called Dead Maids. It is not clear whether the crossroads or the farm were so named first. The most popular story accounting for the name involves three deaths, but two were men, only one maid, so that seems unsatisfactory.

2008 : Junction on the A36
As a complete contrast to
Image] we now see the A36 on its way to Warminster and Salisbury. The junction below leads up to the A3098.
Take this road, turn right on the A3098 and take the first left. You could call it the approach to the approach to the approach to Short Street.
