"Wolverton however is a bit out in the sticks by comparison so retail and preservation would not yield the cash returns to make it a viable development".
Cribbs shopping centre was out in the sticks when it was built some years ago, but it very soon became a very busy place. A number of other retail outlets soon cottoned onto this fact and also built stores in and around Cribbs. Now there is even thousands of new houses been built all around the area, and the old Filton Airport is to be a new housing site with over a thousand homes and some shops and schools plus the Concorde museum.
