About

Westgate ward encompasses a portion of central Lancaster directly west of the River Lune, including the historic core around St. John's Church and the Castle. The area is defined by its steep topography, with streets like Church Street climbing sharply from the quayside. This creates a dense urban landscape where Georgian townhouses and former merchant warehouses are woven into the modern city fabric, housing a mix of residential, commercial, and educational uses.

The ward's identity is anchored by Lancaster Castle and its adjacent courts, a working complex that dominates the skyline. The presence of the university's city centre campus integrates student life into the everyday rhythm. A network of narrow, often pedestrianised lanes connects key sites, with the stone-clad Custom House overlooking the river, marking the historical commercial gateway that gave the ward its name.
