Lliswerry (Welsh: Llyswyry), or Liswerry, is an electoral district (ward)[2] and community of the city of Newport, South Wales.
Liswerry/Lliswerry is an anglicised version of the Welsh place name Llyswyry translating to Maiden's Court.
Originally known as the King of Prussia, the pub was used as a base by Newport County; before their ground, Somerton Park, was equipped with changing rooms, teams would change into their playing kit at the pub prior to starting matches, and wash their kit there after games.
[12] Lliswery Pond was formed, near the railway line, when quarrying excavations struck an underground stream which flooded that area.
At its deepest point the pond is 25 feet (7.6 m) and it is well-stocked with fish, including large pike.
