Westbury ways [13]
Westbury High Street is a nasty bland 'toothpaste architecture' 1960s retail development. The site was previously occupied by a large house named Fontainville which was taken over by the army during WWII. Temporary huts were erected in the grounds as barracks and, after the war, some council tenants were housed in the huts and the main house fell into disrepair. It was demolished to make way for the High Street. The development was built in two main phases in 1962 and 1966 with more units added later.
Westbury is a former market town in the far west of Wiltshire under the north western edge of Salisbury Plain, 4 miles south of Trowbridge and 4 miles north of Warminster. Westbury was a centre of the cloth industry from the later 15th century until the 19th century. Malting was another important industry. There are now a number of large industrial and trading estates around the town with many residents working there. The town is an important junction point on the railway network with the Reading to Taunton line intersecting the line from Bristol to Southampton.
