The City and County of Bristol

From Wikipedia:
"Bristol is a city, unitary authority and ceremonial county in South West England, 115 miles (185 km) west of London.
With a population of 400,000, and metropolitan area of 550,000, it is England's sixth, and the United Kingdom's ninth, most populous city,
and one of England's core cities. It was chartered as a city in 1155 and county in 1373.
For half a millennium it was the second or third largest English city,
until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham
in the Industrial Revolution of the 1780s.

"Bristol is one of the main centres of culture, employment and education in the region.
From its earliest days, its prosperity has been linked to that of the Port of Bristol, the commercial port,
which was in the city centre but has now moved to the Bristol Channel coast at Avonmouth and Portbury.

"In more recent years the economy has been built on the aeronautic industry,
and the city centre docks have been regenerated as a centre of heritage and culture.
The city is famous for its unique music and film industries,
and was a finalist for the 2008 European Capital of Culture."
