Central Park Trading Estate in Hengrove

History

Central Park Trading Estate stands in the suburb of Hengrove in Bristol. The area was once well known as the home of Bristol (Whitchurch) Airport, a municipal airport that was operational from 1930 and played an instrumental role in World War Two. The airport closed in 1957 after it was deemed too small for operations and could not be expanded due to nearby housing. Over the following years, the land was redeveloped, first with a racetrack and later with housing and trading estates. Central Park Trading Estate stands on nearby Petherton Road, off Airfield Road.
