Westgate

The Westgate Hotel is a Grade II listed building in Newport's city centre, whose name & site is famous as the scene of the 1839 Chartist riot, the so-called Newport Rising.

The building is currently on the Buildings at Risk Register as substantially unoccupied & beginning to cause concern. The main staircase & richly decorated public rooms are amongst the best surviving examples of their period.

In 1991 three statues 'Union, Prudence, Energy', commemorating the Chartist uprising, were installed on Commercial Street in front of the Hotel.
