Maindee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maindee (Welsh: Maendy) is a large inner-city area in the city of Newport. It lies mostly within the electoral district (ward) and community (parish) of Victoria, although some areas traditionally associated with Maindee are in the Beechwood ward.
The name 'Maindee' is an anglicised version of Maendy meaning 'stone house'.
Maindee is home to a sizeable Asian Muslim population with three mosques located in the area. Many people are from Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin and there are now a slowly-increasing number of Kurdish refugees.
