There’s a Woodbury in Devon – although I can’t see any reason why the road would be name after Woodbury. I’m wondering whether the wards at Newbridge Hosiptal, which was on or near this site (hence the nearby Senior Drive – it was an old people’s hospital) were named after other places and Woodbury was one of them.
Update: This is nothing to do with either the Woodbury in Devon, or Newbridge Hospital – it’s a reference to ‘Little Woodbury’. This was the name given to the remains of an Iron Age settlement in the area, which was excavated in 1938 and 1939. (1 )
