Bristol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bristol is an English city and county and one of the three administrative centres of South West England (with Plymouth and Exeter). In 1373 Edward III of England proclaimed "that the said town of Bristol withall be a County by itself and called the county of Bristol for ever", but maps usually show it as part of Gloucestershire, and as the city spilled south of the river, it took the county with it. Bristol is home to two major institutions of higher education: the University of Bristol, a "redbrick" chartered in 1909, and the University of the West of England, formerly Bristol Polytechnic, which gained university status in 1992. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bristol   (3249 words)
