Gordano District Badge

Below is the explanation for the design of the Gordano District Badge when the District commenced in the 1950s...


Gordano District is situated 7 miles west of the City of Bristol in the county of Avon (now North Somerset)


The triangle at the centre of the badge depicts the wedge shape of the Gordano Valley. The blue colour represents the Bristol Channel and the green, with three sheaves of corn, indicates the agricultural interest.


The role surrounding the triangle is for the many shipping connections in the area


Finally, the red background reminds us of our past connections with the county of Somerset.
