Where we started

View Our Timeline

Greenfield of Salisbury was opened by Mr Ken Greenfield in 1960 on the site of the Salisbury branch of S R Jeffries, a sports business based in Guildford. The property was previously owned by A Chamberlain and Sons Gunmakers from 1885 to 1940.

Mr Ken Greenfield previously owned B Halliday Gunmakers, Cannon street London which he had taken over from his father on his death in 1957. He had made the decision to move the business to a more provincial location due to difficult post war trading conditions in London. On relocating to Salisbury Mr Greenfield changed the company name to ‘Greenfield of Salisbury Limited’.

Expansion and change

In 1970 the business expanded into the adjacent property 21 Milford street as well as building an extension to the rear.

The success of the business resulted in Mr Greenfield purchasing R Blanton Gunmakers in Ringwood the following year, this branch of Greenfield of Salisbury was only open until October 1995 when it was sold as a going concern.

Our history

In July 1997 Greenfield of Salisbury was purchased by Alan Pike who had started working in the shop as a Saturday boy in 1971 and joined the team full time in 1972 working as a gunsmith and in sales. Upon purchasing the business Alan changed the name to ‘Greenfields Gunmakers Limited’.

In 2004, the building underwent a stunning redevelopment, featuring a new shopfront and sash windows that restored its traditional charm, a delightful departure from its previous 1970s style.

Where we are today

In 2017, Alan Pike acquired adjacent property 21B, previously a nightclub, and embarked on extensive renovations. Additional extensions to the rear of the building facilitated ample storage space. In April 2021, meticulous refurbishment of both new and old properties culminated in a spacious, light, and airy shop floor, offering customers a delightful shopping experience. Our expansion opened doors to an even wider range of products, ensuring there’s something for everyone. The remarkable redevelopment unified the building under one roof, reminiscent of its medieval bowl hall origins, blending history and modernity seamlessly.
