About Yate:
Yate is a town in South Gloucestershire,
England, at the southwest extremity of the Cotswold Hills, 12 miles (19
km) northeast of the city of Bristol. At the 2001 census its population
was 21,788. The town of Chipping Sodbury (population 5,067) is
contiguous with Yate to the east. The majority of the development from a
village into a new town was in the 1960s as an overspill/commuter town
for Bristol.
History:
The coat of arms of YateThe first mention of Yate is the existence of a
religious house about AD 770; Yate is also mentioned in the Domesday
Book of 1086. The name is derived from the Saxon word Giete or Gete
meaning "a gateway into a forest area".
During the Saxon period and well into medieval times most of this part
of south Gloucestershire was covered with forest but through the
centuries the land was cleared for farming.
The town's parish church, St Mary's was started in Norman times but was
altered during the 15th century and was extensively restored in 1970. St
Mary's Primary School, situated outside the churchyard walls, was built
on the site of a former poor house.
It was the opening of the railway station in 1844, as part of Bristol
and Gloucester Railway, that established Yate, with Station Road
becoming the central thoroughfare. It was around this road that the
cattle and produce markets were held and where businesses were
established. Yate railway station was closed by the Beeching Axe of
January 1965, but was reopened in May 1989; the Brunel-built engine shed
is preserved nearby.
In the 1960s Yate was designated as a development area and the building
boom began. The creation of a 'new town' included a large retail
shopping area, sports and leisure development together with public
buildings.
When a secondary school was to be constructed in the late 1970s, it was
supposed to be 'Brinsham Green School' (after 'Brinsham Lane' at nearby
Yate Rocks), but due to a spelling error it was called 'Brimsham Green
School'.
The town further expanded in the 1990s and 2000s with the construction
of housing at North Yate. The housing estate carried on with the
corrupted name of 'Brimsham'. To locals the area is known as 'Brimsham
Park'.
Shopping:
Yate shopping centre has over 100 shopsConstruction of a pedestrianised
shopping centre of around 100 shops began in the early to mid 1960s
[10]. The shopping centre was opened by Patricia Phoenix who played
Elsie Tanner in ITV's Coronation Street. As with the majority of British
New Towns, modern art was included in the design: in the case of Yate,
this was in the form of a the "Four Seasons" sculpture, and a graceful
and dramatic spire-shaped sculpture, which could be seen for miles,
mounted high above the centre on the roof of one of the shops. This
sculpture existed until the early 1990s when it was removed during the
revamping of the centre, which included the erection of glass shelters
throughout the centre. An extension to West Walk was constructed in the
early 1990s, containing Kwik Save (now McDonald's, The Entertainer and
Subway), Argos and other shops.
Centre shops include Burtons (clothes retailer), Tesco, Boots (Chemist),
Halfords Metro, Iceland (supermarket), Argos, Superdrug and The
Entertainer. Eating places in the Centre are McDonald's, Burger King,
Subway and Boswells.
During the 1980s and into the mid 1990s, Yate Shopping Centre hosted
Yate's annual festival. On opening day a celebrity launched the festival
by releasing balloons and stayed to sign autographs. Celebrities have
included - Carole Lee Scott in character as Grotbags (from Rod Hull and
Emu's enemy), Timmy Mallett, Keith Chegwin, Ross Kemp (EastEnders' Grant
Mitchell), Ken Morley (Coronation Street's Reg Holdsworth), David
Neilson (Coronation Street's Roy Cropper), Beverley Callard (Coronation
Street's Liz McDonald), Bob Carolgees and Spit the Dog, and the Milky
Bar Kid. The festival also brought along a number of news presenters
from HTV West including Bruce Hockin, Richard Wyatt and Peter Rowell.
On 19 November 2009 a crowd of 1,501 packed into the shopping centre to
see Peter Andre switch on the town's Christmas lights and sing his
single Unconditional.
In December 2006 the owners of the shopping centre (Dominion Corporate
Trustees) announced plans to enlarge and modernise it. In Phase 1 the
main change will be an enlargement of the existing Tesco supermarket,
using part of the Centre's car park. To compensate for the loss, the
store will be on "stilts" with parking beneath.
Also located near the shopping centre are Lidl, Morrisons and B & Q.
There are two Tesco Express stores in Yate: one on Station Road (half
way between the shopping centre and Yate Railway Station) and one in
Brimsham Park.
A B&Q DIY store was built in the mid to late 1980s (along with two small
housing estates), on the site of the Newmans electric motor factory
(which was demolished in the mid 1980s).
The Shopping Centre also has a Jobcentre Plus, Citizens Advice Bureau,
Library, Leisure Centre, Over 50s Cafe, and Health Centre.
In 2008, construction of a new Health Centre began (on the site of the
old one) costing around £12 million. It is expected to be open early
2010. The centre will have 2,900 square metres of floor space.
In August 2009, plans were finally agreed for Tesco to pull down their
current store, to be replaced by a more modern store, which would see
the store triple in size and to become a Tesco Extra. The plans would
also include an extra four shop units, for the possibility of more major
retailers to join the shopping centre. Also would see the bus station
revamped, and a revamped entrance to East Walk. Work is expected to
begin with the relocation of the bus station, late 2009, for work to
begin on demolishing of the outdated Tesco store to begin early 2010.
Amenities:
Kingsgate Park in YateThe town has a skatepark at Peghill. The Common
(open space) on Westerleigh Road (also known as Yate Common or The
German Fields) is used for dog walking, nature watching, kite flying and
for circuses and fairs.
The Common has a stretch of disused dual carriageway (51°31′56″N
2°26′02″W / 51.532282°N 2.433879°W / 51.532282; -2.433879), known as
the Road to Nowhere, which has been used for filming in TV programmes
such as Casualty. The dual carriageway was part a scheme to create a
road from South Yate extending from Rodford Way through to Nibley as a
bypass.[citation needed] The scheme was only partially completed in
1974. This was the year when Yate became a part of Avon. Completion of
the road would have involved building a bridge over the railway track
but finance was never made available.
The town also has several large parks and areas of open space. The
largest of these is Kingsgate Park which has a large adventure
playground for children.
