Filton info
 Filton
is a town in South Gloucestershire, England, on
the northern outskirts of Bristol. Filton is found
on junction 1 of the M32 motorway and junction
16 of the M5 motorway. It also has a small railway
station, not far from Parkway. It is twinned with
St Vallier-sur-Rhône, France and Witzenhausen,
Germany. The local football (soccer) team is named
"St Vallier FC" after it's French twin.
Filton is notable as a centre of the aerospace
industry, with BAE Systems, Airbus and Rolls Royce
having factories located around Filton Aerodrome,
a connection that dates back to the early days
of the Bristol Aeroplane Company. On 26 November
2003, Concorde 216 (G-BOAF) made the final ever
Concorde flight, returning to Filton to be kept
there permanently as the centrepiece of a projected
air museum. This museum will include the existing
Bristol Aero Collection which is currently kept
in a hangar at Kemble Airfield, forty miles from
Filton. This collection includes a Bristol Britannia
aircraft which would presumably also be brought
to Bristol. Other companies and organizations
such as the MOD, Viridor, Hewlett Packard and
Royal Mail also have a presence in Filton.
Filton has a range of educational facilities,
including Filton College, Filton High School and
several primary schools. The University of the
West of England is at nearby Frenchay.
Filton has two main shopping areas - the Shield
Centre and Abbey Wood Retail Park, as well as
many local shops. To the east of the town there
is a small area of woodland known as Splatt's
Abbey Wood, with an interesting history. There
is also a large golf course located at Filton,
which belongs to Filton Golf Club.
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.
