Nash, Newport
Nash (Welsh: Trefonnen) is a village and community to the south of the city of Newport, South Wales, in the Lliswerry ward.
The name is thought to originate from a contraction of "An Ash" (tree), meaning literally `place of the ash tree(s)'. This is supported by its appearance in deeds as "De Fraxino" (fraxinus was the Latin name for the ash tree). The Welsh name is Trefonnen, given in older sources as Tre'r onnen, also meaning Town (tref) of the Ash (onnen).
Nash and nearby Goldcliff, as Nash and Goldcliffe, are two of the few villages to appear on the Cambriae Typus map of 1573.
Nash lies about 2 miles (3.2 km) to the south of the built-up area of the city of Newport, on the Caldicot levels, a large area of land reclaimed from the sea and crossed by drainage channels and reens. In addition to the village itself, the parish contains Uskmouth power stations and part of the Newport Wetlands nature reserve, including its Visitors Centre which was opened in 2008.
The City of Newport campus of Coleg Gwent (commonly referred to as 'Nash College') is actually in the neighbouring parish of Lliswerry.
Together with the neighbouring parishes of Goldcliff and Whitson, Nash is one of the "Three Parishes" which have long been treated as a unit – geographical, socially, economically and ecclesiastically.
The parish is bounded to the south by the sea (Bristol Channel), to the east by the lower reaches of the River Usk, and to the north by Lliswerry and the Llanwern steelworks site. To the east lie Goldcliff and Whitson.
In 1901 the only four private residents are listed as Mrs Morgan at "Greenfield", Mrs Morgan at "The Elms", Rev. C. W. Triton (Baptist minister, but curiously no separate residence given) and Miss Ester Wilcox at "Decoy Pool". Some twenty-nine commercial interests include mostly farmers (22) but also William German, blacksmith and wheelwright, at "Pye Corner"; Mrs Sarah Jones, publican, at "Waterloo Inn"; John Skuse, shop-keeper, at Broadstreet Common; Edward Tamplin, butcher, at "Box Cottage"; David Thomas, farm bailiff to Mr. James Thomas, at "Pye Corner Farm"; John Watkins, butcher; and Lewis Williams, mason, at "Ash Cottage".
