Saltford

Saltford owns the oldest continuously occupied house in England and spends most of its civic energy trying to win back the railway station it lost in 1970, which tells you the kind of place it is: old money, long memory, and a grudge it fully intends to outlive. It is a village of bungalows and rowing blazers that finds Keynsham next door faintly exhausting and treats Bath as its natural habitat. Nobody here is chasing the next big thing. They already bought it, and it came with a driveway for two cars.
