The Domesday book of 1086 records Portishead as having a value of 70 shillings.
Portishead has never really been popular as a tourist resort despite efforts to encourage vistors to stay in the town. Most visitors are either passing through or coming to look at the Waverley Steamer ( see Clevedon ) or admire the veiws across the Bristol Channel. The hip hop band Portishead is named after the town.
