Bishpool View houses, Newport
Viewed from Bishpool Way looking across Bishpool Lane.
The area was formerly known as Vishpool or Fishpool. Fishpool was the name shown in the 1841 UK national census. In the 1851 census, the name was Bishpool. The reason for the change is unknown. Perhaps residents felt that 'Bish' with suggestions of 'bishop' was grander than a mere fish...

Man of Gwent pub sign, Newport
The sign of the pub http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1545739 on Chepstow Road depicts an archer. Welsh longbowmen were a major element in the army of King Henry V at the battle of Agincourt (1415). Many of these were from Monmouthshire, the county of Henry's birth. Gwent, an ancient Welsh kingdom, is sometimes used as a synonym for the historic county of Monmouthshire. As a monosyllabic word, it is much used by local newspapers in preference to the trisyllabic name.
