Shoulder Of Mutton

Picture source: Steve Duncombe


The Shoulder Of Mutton was situated on Bridge Street. This pub was demolished in 1962.
I found this in my late father’s journal:
“My great grandfather Joseph Humphries was invalided out of the Marines after the Crimean war. He drew his gratuity at Portsmouth and made his way home to Milford in Somerset. He stayed overnight in the shoulder of mutton pub in Salisbury and took a shine to the bar maid. He proposed marriage, was accepted and left his gratuity with her, promising to return to marry her - which he did".
