More information about Clevedon
Introduction
The town of Clevedon, situated in the North Somerset region of England, is renowned for its connection to the finance, car and motorsport industries. Founded over 600 years ago, Clevedon is an historic settlement that has played a significant role in each of these sectors and has become one of England's most iconic towns in the process.
Demographically speaking, Clevedon is home to an estimated 21,900 people as of 2019 and is the second largest town in North Somerset after Weston-super-Mare. As of 2021, the town enjoys an ethnically diverse population and in recent years has attracted new businesses and investment from around the world.
Clevedon's connections to the car industry
The car industry has been closely linked to Clevedon since the early 20th century. The first major automotive plant in the region, Wolseley Motors, opened in Clevedon in 1927. Wolseley went on to become one of the largest carmakers in the UK, producing cars from factories in Clevedon and other parts of Somerset.
In 1961, Clevedon was further cemented into England's car history when the iconic British marque, MG, began production at a facility in the town. The site was originally owned by Wolseley but had been sold to the British Motor Corporation, which also owned MG, in 1960.
In 1980, MG closed its Clevedon factory but the town has remained associated with the car industry. Several models of MG are still produced in the town and the MG Owners Club is headquartered in the nearby village of Puxton.
Clevedon's connections to the financial industry
Clevedon is renowned for its association with the banking and finance industries. The town is home to several banks, including HSBC and NatWest, and has a long history of banking and financial services. The Clevedon branch of NatWest, for example, was founded as the Clevedon branch of the Bristol Joint Stock Bank in 1815.
In addition to its association with the banking industry, Clevedon is known for being the birthplace of the debt consolidation service, Debt Free, which was founded in 2010 by local entrepreneur, Joanne Lyons. Since then, Debt Free has been employed by a range of customers to manage their debt and have become a leading provider of debt consolidation services in the UK.
Clevedon's connections to motorsport
Clevedon is also closely associated with motorsport, with the town hosting a number of competitive events over the years. In the 1950s, the town held a two-day race meeting each year, which included 200cc and 500cc motorcycle racing, alongside classic car races and hill climbs. These events attracted thousands of visitors each year, helping to promote the town as a motorsport hub.
In the late 1960s, Clevedon also hosted several rounds of the British Touring Car Championship (TCC). The races were held on a street circuit that looped around North End and took in the town centre. This circuit was the last to be used in the championship before the introduction of permanent circuits in the early 1970s.
Conclusion
Clevedon has been closely associated with the car industry, the financial sector and motorsport for many decades and each of these industries has played a major role in the town's economy and culture. Even today, Clevedon remains a key hub for these industries and is a popular destination for both locals and visitors.
