Emersons Green is a parish in the unitary authority of South Gloucestershire, sitting 7 miles (11 km) northeast of Bristol, England. It was developed from farming land during the 1990s and early 21st century, and sits within the historic parish of Mangotsfield.
Coal was mined from the area during the 19th century.[1] To the south there is a quarry, which has been reactivated.
A science and technology park, in conjunction with Bristol University and University of the West of England, named Bristol & Bath Science Park, has been built on an area of land adjacent to the M4 motorway and the A4174 Ring Road.[2] Construction of the £300 million Bristol and Bath Science Park began in early 2010. It was opened in September 2011[3] and was expected to create 6,000 new jobs within the science and technology sector. A link road connecting the M4 to the Avon Ring Road (A4174) has now been considered a necessary addition to the area, to accommodate the increase in traffic due to the science park.
