Understanding the history of the area is an important part of the site analysis From 1930-1957, the site was used as Bristol’s principle airfield, prior to its relocation in 1957 to its current position. It was one of the few airports to maintain civil flights to Lisbon and Shannon during World War II. A section of the runway remains on the site today.

Following its closure in 1957, the airfield was re-opened in 1959 as Whitchurch Circuit, a car racing circuit holding Formula Two and Formula Three races.

By 2012 the first phase of significant new development had been completed at Hengrove Park. Focusing on providing new community facilities, the site is now served by Hengrove Leisure Centre, South Bristol Community Hospital and South Bristol Skills Academy.
