Hallen is a village in South Gloucestershire, England, just north of the Bristol city boundary. It is southwest of Easter Compton, northeast of Avonmouth and northwest of Henbury. The village lies at the edge of the Severn floodplain, sandwiched between the M49 and M5 motorways. It is sometimes claimed that the name "Hallen" is from the Welsh for salt, 'halen', or from an Anglo-Saxon word of the same meaning, however, 16th century spellings (e.g. Hallyende) make it clear that this is not the case; the name is apparently Middle or Early Modern English from 'hall' (hall) or 'hale' (nook, corner, stretch of alluvial land) + 'ende' (end).

  • Hallen is a village in South Gloucestershire, England, just north of the Bristol city boundary. It is southwest of Easter Compton, northeast of Avonmouth and northwest of Henbury. The village lies at the edge of the Severn floodplain, sandwiched between the M49 and M5 motorways. It is sometimes claimed that the name "Hallen" is from the Welsh for salt, 'halen', or from an Anglo-Saxon word of the same meaning, however, 16th century spellings (e.g. Hallyende) make it clear that this is not the case; the name is apparently Middle or Early Modern English from 'hall' (hall) or 'hale' (nook, corner, stretch of alluvial land) + 'ende' (end). For administrative purposes Hallen is a ward in the civil parish of Almondsbury, although it is some 5 miles from the village of Almondsbury. Historically it was in the large parish of Henbury, and was transferred to Almondsbury in 1935 when most of Henbury was absorbed into Bristol. The Henbury Loop railway line passes the village to the south. When the line was opened in 1910 the village was served by Hallen Halt station, but the halt closed in 1915. The loop construction made a railway embankment along one side of the village. It was during the excavation that a natural water spring was blocked. This destroyed the watercress fields that used to be a major income for the village. A large underground petroleum storage facility was built into the hillside behind the village during World War II, to provide protection from German bombing. The facility is still in use today. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Hallen was a popular stop off point for travellers making their way from the South West to the Aust Ferry, which would cross the River Severn to Wales. There were three inns in the village, one with its own brewery. The brewery structure is still visible today attached to the last remaining pub, The King William IV. The village retains some old world charm in places (War Memorial and Oakhill Lane cottages), but has been bisected by the M5 motorway which has left it somewhat desolate. (en)
  • Hallen adalah sebuah desa dekat batas kota utara Bristol, tetapi sebenarnya di . Terletak di barat laut dan timur laut . (di Bristol) terletak di tenggara Hallen. Desa ini dikelilingi motoway dan dan terletak di daerah rawa Severn. Sebuah fasilitas penyimpanan minyak bawah tanah besar dibangun di sisi bukit di belakang desa selama Perang Dunia II, untuk menyediakan perlindungan dari pengeboman Jerman. Fasilitas ini masih digunakan hingga saat ini. Pada abad ke-19 dan awal ke-20, Hallen adalah titik perhentian populer bagi pengunjung yang bepergian dari barat daya ke Aust, yang melintasi Sungai Severn ke Wales. Terdapat tiga penginapan di desa ini, satu dengan tempat pembuatan birnya sendiri. Struktur pembuatan bir ini masih dapat dilihat menempel dengan pub terakhir di kota itu, The King William IV. Desa ini memiliki ketenangan seperti masa-masa terdahulu di beberapa tempat (War Memorial dan penginapan Oakhill Lane), tetapi telah diganggu oleh motorway M5 yang membuatnya tidak terisolasi kembali, hal ini tidak menjadi masalah. * l * b * s (in)
