Westwood, Baillie
Westwood, Baillie and Co was a Victorian engineering and shipbuilding company based at London Yard in Cubitt Town, London. The company was set up in 1856 by Robert Baillie and Joseph Westwood, previously managers of Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company, Ditchburn and Mares shipyard. Partly as a result of a fall in demand due to the financial crisis of 1866, a period of financial stress and reorganisation resulted in Westwood and Baillie acting as managers for the London Engineering & Iron Shipbuilding Company Ltd, until they regained control in 1872. For much of its life the company produced iron and steel work for bridges. In 1887 the company made the girders for the Lansdowne Bridge Rohri, Lansdowne Bridge over the Indus River, then the longest rigid girder bridge in the world. Work on a more modest scale included a railway footbridge that can still be seen at Romford railway station, and the 1879 swing bridges over the Royal Albert Dock, London, Royal Albert Dock.

Westwood House
Westwood House is a stately home, near Droitwich, Worcestershire, England. It has been subdivided into twelve self-contained apartments. The house has origins as an Elizabethan banqueting hall with Caroline additions and is a Grade I listed building. It was for several centuries the seat of the Pakington family. Situated west of Droitwich, it lies in the centre of its former estate, Westwood Park, which is Grade II listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. With its four diagonal wings, added to the original, early-17th century house at some time later in the same century, the house's design was a precursor of the Butterfly plan which became popular in the 19th century.

Westwood Cross
Westwood Cross is a British, open, pedestrianised shopping centre at Westwood, Kent. It opened in 2005, and since 2008 has incorporated a casino, cinema and bingo hall. History Westwood Cross is situated on the former Haine Hospital site, which closed in June 1997 and was demolished in 2003. Construction required filling of a deep railway cutting. Developers claimed the 2005 Westwood Cross created 1,500 jobs in the Broadstairs area. Kent County Council's decision to allow a 2008 expansion including leisure and gambling facilities was controversial. Church leaders said ''its location was tempting people who had never gambled before to give it a go''. The scheme was eventually approved by the House of Lords. In 2010, additional retail outlets were created by conversion of a former adjoining Wickes store. A 2015 car park collapse beneath the Westwood Cross Primark store revealed underground tunnels believed to have been constructed during World War I training exercises. Resea ...
