Looking for Man and Van Hire in Newport?

Newport, Welsh Casnewydd, town, industrial seaport, and county borough, historic county of Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy), Wales. The town is located at the mouth of the River Usk where it enters the River Severn estuary. A medieval borough with a castle (now in ruins) dating from about 1126, the town of Newport enjoyed commercial privileges conferred by various charters, such as that of 1385. Its present importance, however, dates from the 19th-century industrialization of the neighbouring coalfield. In 1839 Newport was the scene of some of the popular uprisings known as the Chartist riots, bullet marks from which are still visible in the pillars of the Westgate Hotel. The coal trade that brought considerable prosperity to the port up to 1913 has since ceased, and the town’s industry diversified to include steel and aluminum processing, papermaking, engineering, and chemicals. The port’s imports include timber, tea, and automobiles. Historically, Newport was one of the most important metallurgical centres in Britain, with an immense steelworks at Llanwern, east of the town. Steelmaking ceased there in 2001, but the works continued to roll and coat strip steel. Erected in 1906, a Transporter bridge 245 feet (75 metres) high spans the river near the docks, and a road bridge built in 1964 was the first cable cantilever bridge in Britain.
