Liswerry is an eastern suburb and parish of Newport in Wales, lying close to the River Usk and the city’s eastern industrial zone. It grew substantially in the 20th century with post‑war housing built to serve workers in nearby heavy industry, and its streets mix council and private housing with pockets of green space and local shops.
The area retains a strong local identity, with churches, community centres and amateur sports clubs forming the backbone of social life, while its proximity to places such as Llanwern and the docks underlines a long industrial heritage. In recent years there has been steady regeneration and investment aimed at improving facilities and links to the city centre, keeping it a practical and community‑minded part of Newport.
