Local Information

Portishead – Has some excellent view across to Wales on clear days from its Somerset coastline. Today it is seen by many as a commuter town with many residents working outside the area. Stone axes dating back over 2,000 years have however been found in the area, proof of ancient settlers in this location. The town was pretty small until Victorian times when industry began to spread to the area, in the 1920’s a power station was built on the dockside which was later to expand which in turn bad Portishead larger
