Charlton, Bristol
Coordinates: 51°31′08″N 2°35′24″W / 51.519°N 2.590°W Charlton was the name of a small village in Gloucestershire, England, demolished in the late 1940s to make room for airport expansion. It was between Filton and Cribbs Causeway immediately north of Bristol.
Charlton was a tything in the ancient parish, and later civil parish, of Henbury. In 1870 it had a population of 425. Between 1910 and 1915 the village was served by Charlton Halt, on the Henbury Loop railway line just south of the village. In 1935 the village was transferred to the civil parish of Almondsbury.
The B4057 road ran through the village. Charlton had several farm houses, a public house called the Carpenters Arms, a post office, several large houses and a few cottages.
In the late 1940s nearly all of the village was demolished to make way for an extension of the main runway at Filton Airfield, now Filton Aerodrome, to accommodate take-offs of the giant Bristol Brabazon propeller-driven airliner. Just before demolition, many of the former residents were rehoused in council housing on Patchway Estate.
