About

West End ward sits on the western edge of Lancaster city centre, primarily a residential area characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. The ward is bounded by major routes like the A6 and stretches towards the River Lune, creating a defined urban neighbourhood. Its streets form a tight grid pattern, providing housing for a significant student population alongside long-term residents. The area functions largely as a community for those studying at or working for the nearby university.

The ward's landscape is marked by a noticeable slope rising from the river, offering views across the city towards the distant Forest of Bowland. Ashton Memorial can be seen on its hill to the east. A key local feature is the presence of the former Lancaster Moor Hospital site, with its distinctive water tower, which is now being redeveloped. Daily life revolves around local shops, pubs, and takeaways along streets like Gage Street, serving the immediate community's needs.
