Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Julians,_Newport
"St Julians (Welsh: Sain Silian) is a community and coterminous electoral district (ward) of the City of Newport, South Wales.
The community is bounded by the River Usk to the west and north, The Moorings, Badminton Road, Reynolds Close, Rembrandt Way, Constable Drive, Heather Road, Kelly Road, Merlin Crescent, Avalon Drive, across St Julian's Road and Norfolk Road to the east, Christchurch Road, Church Road, Clarence Place and Newport Bridge to the south. The ward includes the districts of Barnardtown, Riverside, and most of St. Julians (the rest being in Beechwood ward).
The Anglican parish church for St Julian's is dedicated to the martyred Saints of Julius and Aaron and sits mid-way along Heather Road and the Roman Catholic church on Beaufort Road is dedicated to St Julius. St Julian's Methodist Church is situated at the junction of Caerleon Road with St Julian's Avenue; St Julian's Baptist Church is in Beaufort Road. The roads in the post-war St Julian's estate are named after famous painters, where as the older inter-war estate streets are named after the members of the Firbank family who owned the land from 1869 to 1926. St Julian's itself is named after Saint Julius of Caerleon, the Roman martyr.
St Julians has two primary schools, namely Glan Usk Primary School (formerly Durham Road Infant School and Durham Road Junior School) and St Julian's Primary School.
St Julians School opened in 1953.[2]
Glan Usk Primary School opened in January 2010,[3] after receiving £9.7m in funding from the Welsh Government. The development is however controversial as it is situated on a former 1930s and 1960s industrial site [4] at the Glebelands in the western part of St Julians. The new school also provides nursery school places, following the closure of Rockfield Nursery."
