| Wyvern Avenue |
The Wyvern of legend is a bipedal dragon, believed to be the symbol of Wessex and carried at the Battle of Burford[1]. The Saxons, led by Cuthred, won that battle and historians note that on the standard was a golden dragon.
The wyvern has become a symbol for the former kingdom of Wessex. The Wyvern is on the Wiltshire flag, Wessex Division Formation patch, and even on the arms of the Countess of Wessex.
So, it seems right that the street off Wyvern Avenue is Wessex Close, which will be discussed next.
