Saltford is a large village and civil parish in the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority, Somerset, England. It lies between the cities of Bristol and Bath, and adjoins Keynsham on the same route. It lies on the A4 road and River Avon, to which the Saltford and Kelston locks provide access. The low-lying area is prone to flooding. The local primary school (Saltford C of E Primary School) has good results. There are four public houses in the village: ''The Bird in Hand'',〔(The Bird In Hand, Saltford )〕 ''The Jolly Sailor'', ''The Crown'' and ''The Riverside''.〔(The Riverside, Saltford )〕 Saltford is home to a number of listed buildings. Saltford has a strong community. In 1960 the residents of Saltford started a community fund that was used to build the Saltford Hall, which was completed in 1961. The Hall was built by residents who gave their time freely to dig the foundations and build the main Hall. The Saltford Community Association, which is a charity run by volunteers, have run the hall since it was built.〔(Saltford Community Association )〕 The SCA has a fundraising committee which raises funds not only to maintain and improve the Hall but also supports local charities. The Hall is used to provide the local community facilities such as Blood donation evenings, citizens advice, community support and entertainment. The SCA has recently introduced a week-long village festival which has been very successful. ==History== The parish of Saltford was part of the Keynsham Hundred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saltford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
