We are proud of our ancient street originally
named Fisherton Anger
which dates back to
before the 11th century.
The original settlement
lay between Mill Road and the river.
The rivers
were rich in fish and caught by local residents,
hence the name Fisherton.
As Salisbury (New Sarum) and Wilton grew so
did Fisherton which is strategically between the
two places. Thus trade and shops developed
commercially eastward towards the Cathedral.
The thoroughfare became lined with houses,
inns and shops and even a county gaol.
With the introduction of the railway lines in
1856, Fisherton Street became linked to the
outside world and by 1875 there were butchers,
drapers, grocers and bakers, jewellers, blacksmiths,
tobacconists, tailors, greengrocers and
appropriately fishmongers.
Today Fisherton Street shop keepers maintain
this proud tradition with an eclectic mix of
trades, goods and services which are unrivalled
in the South of England. When you visit one
of the shops or stores in our street you will
certainly be given a warm welcome from
family businesses eager to offer you the best
possible service.
