Poultry Cross

Awesome an old heritage cross. Surrounded by many nice restaurant and cafe. Nice atmosphere and many great attractions around like Stonehenge.

Great piece of architecture, this St Thomas church, near by.

Site where the vendors selling poultry would set up on market days in old Salisbury. It is very convient to walk by it but to look at it seems just another old thing but to understand that this is a marker of the oldest continuous farmers market in the UK dating back to the 1200s and to appreciate the setting makes it worth visiting and taking a break sitting on the stone benches in its shade. It is also right across the street from Haunch of Venison which is great place to eat and full of history itself.

It is good to see that this has survived but it does now look slightly out of place with the modern buildings around it. However, it is a very impressive landmark and I assume meeting point within Salisbury.

This is a wonderful bit of architecture called the Poultry Cross which is a monument that was erected the 14th century in recognition of one of the City’s markets....In years gone by there were 4 of these monuments in the city this being the only one remaining....I’m not certain but I should imagine it was a meat and poultry market hence the name.....There are still markets in and around this area of this magnificent City today which are very enjoyable to look around....Salisbury has so much to offer and a great place to explore,a very good day.....👍

Nice monument to have a quick look at when you're passing by. The stonework is very intricate, though noticeably aging.

This is in the heart of Salisbury it's a beautiful place on a wet day you can shelter and on a sunny day you can sit and enjoy a break
It's close to shops and a few great pubs offering Awsome food and not expensive

Sadly, Salisbury is slowly dying for shopping. There's some gorgeous architecture and history to be found, but the city is becoming a ghost city.
