From Wikipedia:
Portishead (IPA: /pɔːtɪsˈhɛd/) is a coastal town in North Somerset, England, with a population of 18,000.
Portishead’s history dates back to Roman times, its name derives from the ‘port at the head of the river’. The town was built on the mouth of a small tributary; the High Street once met the water at the top of the river. Relatively wealthy and prosperous dormitory town for Bristol.
The dominant architecture is early Victorian with some buildings maintaining their original features.
It's also one of the fastest growing towns in Europe, due to the large, flat area of land available to build on.
