Which, strictly speaking, Filton does not, as all it has is a large expanse of Tarmac with various holes here and there.

Large expanses of Tarmac are not an uncommon sight on an airfield.

However let us look at another connection with Filton......


Marsden also has a noted brass band....The one in Filton is the Filton Concert Brass

Nelson in Lancashire used to be called Marsden. It was renamed by the town council after the railway station which was named after the nearby pub so that the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway did not have two "Marsden" stations.

There are still a number of institutions called the Marsden "X", Nelson

Rylstone is another North Yorkshire settlement to have a Grade II listed building (St Peter's Church).....The Grade II listed building in East Layton is that of East Layton Hall.

Ah, I used to be able to get the bus outside my house direct to Rylstone.

Rylstone Gardens, meanwhile are found in Shanklin.
