Coal was mined from the area during the 19th century.[1] To the south there is a quarry, which has been reactivated.
A science and technology park, in conjunction with Bristol University and University of the West of England, named Bristol & Bath Science Park, has been built on an area of land adjacent to the M4 motorway and the A4174 ringroad.[2] Construction of the £300 million Bristol and Bath Science Park began in early 2010. It was opened in September 2011[3] and is expected to create 6,000 new jobs within the science and technology sector, when it is completed in 2020. A link road connecting the M4 to the Avon ring road (A4174) has now been considered a necessary addition to the area, to accommodate the increase in traffic due to the science park.
