Crane Bridge, Salisbury
Crane Bridge and Crane Street took their names from a nearby building called the Crane. Crane Bridge was built at the end of the 15th century and is on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest in the United Kingdom. The bridge is made of stone and has four low arches, projecting keystones and a stone parapet. It has been extended since its initial construction, but it has retained most of its original features. Crane Bridge can be seen on the way to Queen Elizabeth Gardens next to Salisbury Cathedral.

Salisbury Introduction Walking Tour
Old Sarum is not as old as neighboring Stonehenge, but it is old. A hill fort occupied the site as early as 300 BC. The ubiquitous Romans did not overly attend to it but it fell to Saxon King Cynric of Wessex in 552 AD. Danes and Norwegians invaded frequently enough until 1066, when William of Normandy settled matters among the parties.
