Wilfred Middlebrook, in part of his newspaper serialisation The Changing Face Of Warminster, written in 1970 and published in 1971, noted:
Past the rear of the Woodland Road estate, we find the whole area, both sides of Princecroft Lane, in the hands of builders. Soon the Princecroft Farm estate will cover the whole expanse, linking Broadway, Princecroft, Westleigh and Woodland Road, to form the largest collection of private dwellings the town has ever seen.
