Approaching the city centre after passing under the A36 (Churchill Way East) at the Milford Street Bridge.

The Red Lion Hotel on Milford Street is possibly the longest-running purpose-built hotel in the UK (https://web.archive.org/web/20110804160811/http://www.the-redlion.co.uk/v2/DataPage.asp?page=10 archived from hotel website). It was built in the twelfth or thirteenth century to provide lodgings for the draughtsmen working on the Cathedral. Originally named the White Bear Inn, its name was changed to the “Red Lion and Cross Keys”, which was subsequently shortened to “The Red Lion” during the eighteenth century. The Red Lion is a Grade II listed building (List entry Number: 1242887 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1242887 Historic England).

The entrance and exit of Culver Street car park, seen from its top level, and showing the brutalist concrete architecture. A36 ring road, otherwise known as Churchill Way East, is seen in the middle distance.

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).

George Victor Searle's garage business at 67A Rampart Road operated in Salisbury during the late 1920s to the early thirties. The garage was located at the bottom of Milford Hill at its junction with Rampart Road. Along with many others, the building was demolished in the 1960s when the Churchill Way flyover was constructed. I welcome any suggestions as to the identity of the vehicle in the photo, although I think it's probably a Model T Ford Roadster, possibly modified. UPDATE: having contacted the Model T Ford Register www.modeltregister.co.uk (a club for Model T Ford enthusiasts) they concluded that it is not a Model T. They very kindly did some research on my behalf and a consensus of their enthusiasts concluded that it may be a Chevrolet FB with an English body.

The view West towards Milford Street from Milford Hill, the ugly Churchill Way elevated ring road dominating the scene. Built in the 1960s, the flyover runs parallel with Rampart Road whose junction with Milford Hill can be seen in the photo. A number of old buildings were demolished in order to construct it, including at least 5 buildings here on the North side. A view from the same viewpoint of c.1914 show clearly what has been lost: https://media.geograph.org.uk/files/7eabe3a1649ffa2b3ff8c02ebfd5659f/010b_Milford_Hill-original.jpg
