SALISBURY, SP1 1DB

Located opposite Salisbury railway station. A white arrow points right towards the enquiry office. Though many other sorting offices are now called delivery offices, the nameplate here in September 2013 shows Salisbury Sorting Office.

Located at 148 Fisherton Street, next door to Salisbury Sorting Office, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3938421 Bevan House is the registered office of Salisbury Trust for the Homeless which provides a home for single adults who would otherwise have nowhere to live.

About 100 metres east of Salisbury railway station. Headroom under the bridge is shown as 14' 3".

From Fisherton Street past the edge of Salisbury Delivery Office. Red Royal Mail vans are parked on the right.

An amusingly painted stone bollard in front of the old railway buildings on Fisherton Street, west of the bridge.

The view southeast near the railway station at the western end of this prominent Salisbury thoroughfare, that is the main point of entry to the city from the west. Compare this view to the one taken in June 1908 from the same viewpoint, on the occasion of King Edward's visit to the city. https://media.geograph.org.uk/files/7eabe3a1649ffa2b3ff8c02ebfd5659f/008b_Fisherton_Street_West_-original.jpg Image

This bridge carries the railway over Fisherton Street. The bridge was strengthened in December 2019. Salisbury station is just a few yards to the left. 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.

Railway bridge over Fisherton Street, just East of the railway station.

The flush bracket is to be found under railway bridge E4/236/BAE1 which takes the railway over Fisherton Street. For a photograph of the railway bridge Image and for further information on the bracket http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm9475 A bench mark is an Ordnance Survey arrowhead sign found on walls, bridges, churches and specially erected triangulation pillars where the altitude above sea-level has been accurately measured by surveyors. The arrowhead points to a horizontal line above it which marks the exact altitude. With rivets and pivots there is no datum (horizontal line) cut, the pointed-to horizontal surface defining the datum height.
