It covers an area straddling the border between the localities of Oldfield Park and Twerton, and is bordered to the north by the River Avon.[2] Westmoreland is rarely used as the name of an area of Bath, and is primarily used just for electoral purposes within the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority, electing two councillors.[3] Confusingly Westmoreland Street, Westmoreland Road and Westmoreland Station Road, near the Westmoreland goods station closed in 1967, are not in the ward, but about half a kilometre away in Widcombe ward.[2] The name Westmoreland is probably derived from the house, Westmoreland Place (see 1818 and 1852 maps of Bath), that stood approximately where Westmoreland Street is today. Oldfield Park railway station, Oldfield Park Infant School[4] and Oldfield Park Junior School[5] are located in the ward. The north-west end of the Moorland Road shopping area is in the ward. Westmoreland has a considerable student population, from the University of Bath and Bath Spa University, both in private rental, and for Bath Spa University students accommodation blocks on former industrial land by the River Avon. The northern end of the Two Tunnels Greenway walking and cycling path is in Westmoreland.[2] The electoral wards surrounding the ward are: Widcombe and Oldfield to the east, Southdown to the north-west, Twerton to the west, and Newbridge and Kingsmead to the north over the River Avon.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ukcensusdata.com/westmoreland-e05001969#sthash.ZyqdeuBv.dpbs|title=Ward population 2011 |accessdate=7 April 2015}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/services/your-council-and-democracy/elections/bath-north-east-somerset-council-ward-maps |title=Electoral Maps |publisher=Bath & North East Somerset Council |accessdate=13 October 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1995/493/contents/made |title=The Avon (Structural Change) Order 1995 |work=legislation.gov.uk |publisher=The National Archives |accessdate=19 March 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.oldfieldparkinfants.co.uk/ |title=Oldfield Park Infant School |publisher=Oldfield Park Infant School |accessdate=23 March 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.oldfieldparkjuniors.co.uk/ |title=Oldfield Park Junior School |publisher=Oldfield Park Junior School |accessdate=23 March 2011}} External links
