LISWERRY

'Liswerry' () (sometimes spelled ''Lliswerry'') is both an electoral district (ward) and community (parish) of the city of Newport.
The parish is bounded by the River Usk to the east, Lilleshall Street and Telford Street to the northeast, the Great Western main line to the north, the original western end of Llanwern steelworks and Meadows Road to the east, and Nash Road, Traston Road, Corporation Road and Stephenson Street to the south. The Liswerry ward is composed of both the Liswerry and Nash parishes.
The ward is the site of the City of Newport Campus for Coleg Gwent (commonly referred to as 'Nash College') and the Newport Velodrome. Liswerry has a high school, a junior school and infants school, situated close to each other. The high school is adjacent to the college campus, with the junior and infants school located further north along Nash Road, the area has two churches St Andrews Church in Wales Church situated on Somerton Road and Lliswerry Baptist Church situated in Camperdown Road.
Liswerry is well-known across the city for the railway bridge over Nash Road with 'This is Lliswerry with 2 L's' painted in white across it. So is it one or two 'L's? The answer is 2.
Lliswerry is the anglicised version of Llysweri meaning the court near the turning in the river. This can be viewed on the school crest of Lliswerry High School.
The suburb is also home to Newport Stadium, home ground of the Newport County football team.
