About the Neighborhood
The West End neighborhood is located just west of downtown Bristol;
it contains about 40 city blocks and covers four-tenths of a square
mile. For the purposes of the study, the neighborhood is loosely
defined by Rockwell Park and Jacobs Street on the north, Divinity
Street on the southwest, Gridley Street on the southeast, and West
Street on the east. Much of the West End is residential in nature—
containing mostly one-, two- and three-family houses—but it’s also
home to Rockwell Park, historic Muzzy Field, a section of the
Pequabuck River, several churches, a public school, and a variety of
small businesses.
The West End's location makes it the primary residential
neighborhood adjoining downtown Bristol. Within Bristol, the
neighborhood is known for its close-knit community and its proud,
working-class heritage.
