Memory Walk

Our memory walk takes you through an anecdotal history of the area around the Milford Street Bridge Mural. You will discover stories of our local characters who lived here before the Churchill Way Ring Road. You will see where they lived, where they worked and how they lived their lives - we will be weaving around in time, from century to century. We will show you some of the diverse aspects of Salisbury's rich social, industrial and railway history. This walk also reveals how the Ring Road impacted on the lives of a tight-knit community; ruining small businesses and demolishing irreplaceable heritage buildings.
