Flowers Delivered In Malborough
Marlborough in Wiltshire - not to be confused with Malborough, which is in Devon - is a market town with signs of habitation dating back to around 2,400 BC, meaning the flower delivery Marlborough customers receive retraces a well-worn route. The town's name probably derives from 'marl' meaning chalk, on which it is built, but tantalisingly on some old maps it was recorded as 'Marlinges boroe' which some people like to translate into modern-day language as 'Merlin's barrow', referring to the burial place of the legendary wizard. Even the town's motto, Ubi nunc sapientis ossa Merlini, means 'Where now are the bones of wise Merlin', a further nod to the legend.
Located between London and Bath, on the Old Bath Road, Marlborough would have been a useful place to stop for the night, or to stock up on supplies for the journey; nowadays the old road has been classified as the A4, and while the M4 to the north carries the bulk of the long-distance traffic making that same journey, the flower delivery Marlborough households order brings to mind those early travellers and traders.
