Poultry Cross, Medieval market cross in Salisbury, England.
The stone structure stands at the intersection of Silver Street and Minster Street, featuring Gothic architecture with curved buttresses and an ornate pinnacle.
Built around 1450 as one of four market crosses in Salisbury, the structure underwent modifications in 1711 when its original flying buttresses were removed.
The cross marked the location where merchants traded poultry and birds, representing the medieval market system that shaped English commercial practices.
The site continues to serve as a central point for Salisbury's market activities, with vendors setting up stalls every Tuesday and Saturday.
The Poultry Cross remains the sole survivor of Salisbury's four original market crosses, which included structures for cheese, livestock, and wool trading.
