about Bristol
Bristol is an
English city and county and one of the two administrative
centres of South West England (the other being
Plymouth). From its earliest days, its prosperity
has been linked to that of the Port of Bristol,
the commercial port which originated in the city
centre, but which has now migrated to the Bristol
Channel coast. Bristol extends to this coast and
includes Avonmouth, where much of the current
port is located. Notable areas in and surrounding
the city include Clifton, Filton and Patchway.
(These last two areas are outside the present
city boundary, in South Gloucestershire.)
Bristol is England's eighth, and the United Kingdom's
eleventh, most populous city. It had been, for
half a century, the second largest English city
after London,
until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Manchester
and Birmingham, in the 1780s.
Bristol is home to two major institutions of
higher education: the University of Bristol, a
"redbrick" chartered in 1909, and the
University of the West of England, formerly Bristol
Polytechnic, which gained university status in
1992. The city also has two dedicated further
education institutions, City of Bristol College
and Filton College as well as a theological college,
Trinity College, Bristol.
There are two principal railway stations in Bristol:
Bristol Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads. Bristol
was never well served by suburban railways, though
the Severn Beach Line to Avonmouth and Severn
Beach survived the Beeching Axe and is still in
operation today. The Portishead Railway was closed
in the Beeching Axe but was relaid between 2000-2002
as far as the Royal Portbury Dock with a Strategic
Rail Authority rail-freight grant. Plans to relay
a further three miles of track to Portishead,
a largely dormitory town with only one connecting
road, have been discussed but have there is currently
insufficient funding to rebuild stations.
Dialect
Many Bristolians speak a distinctive dialect of
English (known colloquially as Brizzle or Bristle).
The best-known feature of this dialect, unique
to Bristol, is the Bristol L (or Terminal L),
in which an L sound is appended to words that
end in a vowel sound. This is exemplified by the
name of the city itself, which has been transformed
from the Old English Brycgstow to the modern Bristol.
It may also lead to confusions between expressions
like area engineer and aerial engineer which in
"Bristle" may sound similar. Other typical
examples include stories of trips to 'Americal'
and, when unsure, the answer 'I have no ideal'.
