Watley's End refers to an area now considered to be part of the village of Winterbourne, South Gloucestershire.

From memory the land enclosed by the River Frome from Nightingales Bridge down to the Cloisters (Cloisters Road) formed the one border of the area. Watley's End Road ran as far as Court Road and Nightingales Lane and that formed the northern border with Frampton Cotterrel. Hooper's Farm was considered the western edge of Watley's End. The southern edge of the area started where Park Avenue met North Road and continued east until "the Cloisters."

There were 2 churches in the area one was called Salem Methodist Church (junction of Salem and Factory roads) and the other was the Ebenezer Methodist Church which was on Watley's End Road adjacent to what is York Gardens today.

There is a pub called the Mason's Arms on North Road.

Factory Road was named for the beaver hat factory built on what is now Beaver Close. [1]

There used to be a small shop opposite Salem Church and another grocery shop run by Richard Maggs on the corner of Salem and Common Roads.
