Stow Hill is both an electoral district (ward) and coterminous community parish of the City of Newport, South Wales. It is bounded by the River Usk to the east, George Street and Cardiff Road to the south, the Great Western Main Line to the southwest, Caerau Crescent, Caerau Road, Godfrey Road, Devon Place and Mill Street to the north. The ward contains the districts of St. Woolos and Baneswell. The area is governed by the Newport City Council. == City Centre == The ward covers most of the city centre 〔(Newport City Centre:: OS grid ST3188 :: Geograph Britain and Ireland - photograph every grid square! )〕 including most of the city's major retailers 〔(Newport Arcade:: OS grid ST3088 :: Geograph Britain and Ireland - photograph every grid square! )〕 as well as the centre for nightlife in the city, being home to many of Newport's well-known nightclubs and bars. The ward also contains Newport Castle 〔(Newport Castle, Monmouthshire:: OS grid ST3188 :: Geograph Britain and Ireland - photograph every grid square! )〕 on the banks of the River Usk and St. Woolos Cathedral 〔(St Woolos Cathedral:: OS grid ST3087 :: Geograph Britain and Ireland - photograph every grid square! )〕 atop Stow Hill itself. It is also the location of Havelock Street Presbyterian Church where, in 1887, The Boys Brigade movement in Wales was founded by George Philip Reynolds. Stow Hill's earliest inhabitant was, according to legend, Saint Gwynllyw. Apart from the Central Business District of Newport, there is also a significant resident population here in a relatively small area. Much of the housing is made up of rows of densely packed Victorian terraced houses. Stow Hill has a Communities First team based at The Share Centre.〔(Stow Hill Communities First - Welcome )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stow Hill, Newport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
