context_page_description: Pillgwenlly, usually known as Pill, is an electoral district and coterminous community parish in the city of Newport, South Wales. The area is governed by the Newport City Council.
context_section_description: It is an inner-city district to the south of the city centre and the built-up area is commonly shortened to "Pill". It contains the Newport Docks and the western ends of the Newport Transporter Bridge, City Bridge and George Street Bridge.
  Pill hosts the annual Pill Carnival, on the last weekend of August. The Old Town Dock area is currently undergoing a huge mixed-use regeneration to bring the derelict dock lands back into use. A lively market takes place on a Saturday morning at the Newport Auctions site.
  Portland Street in Pill was the birthplace, in 1871, of the famous "Tramp Poet" W. H. Davies; the nearby Church House Inn, where Davies was brought up by his grandparents, has a commemorative blue plaque.
  The opening line 'Libraries gave us power' of the 1996 song A Design for Life, by Blackwood band Manic Street Preachers, was inspired by the legend above the entrance to the former Carnegie Library. In 2012 the TV drama series Being Human featured internal and external cafe scenes filmed in Fanny's Cafe Pill near the Transporter Bridge.
