## Westbury Hill, Westbury-on-Trym

Westbury Hill, a prominent thoroughfare in Westbury-on-Trym, has been central to the area's development since the early 20th century. In the 1920s, the village began its transformation into a suburb of Bristol, with the construction of detached and semi-detached villas along Westbury Hill. This expansion continued through the 1930s and 1940s, significantly altering the village's landscape. The opening of Falcondale Road in the 1930s provided a bypass to the narrow, winding streets of the old village, facilitating smoother traffic flow and further development. Despite these changes, Westbury Hill retains its historical significance, with the Church of the Holy Trinity, dating back to 1194, standing as a Grade I listed building and a focal point in the community.
