About

Westgate ward lies in the heart of Gloucester, encompassing a significant portion of the historic city centre. The area is defined by the ancient Westgate Street, a primary thoroughfare leading directly to the iconic Gloucester Cathedral. This central location includes the historic Cross, the traditional centre of the city, and the modern King's Square development. The ward contains a mix of retail premises, civic buildings, and residential properties, often situated above street-level shops.

The ward's character is heavily shaped by its medieval street pattern and the presence of the cathedral close. A notable feature is the Folk of Gloucester museum, housed in a row of historic timber-framed buildings on Westgate Street. The area functions as the primary commercial and administrative hub for the city, with activity centred around the pedestrianised shopping areas and the historic docks lying just to its south, though the docks themselves fall within a separate ward.
