Machen Trethomas Bedwas 1960

Hello, My name is Bernard living in Caerleon and being in my autumn years many memories flood my mind, some posing questions. One of these follows. I like the occasional relaxing pint at a nearby pub just outside Caerleon``The St. Julians Inn,``which boasts wood paneling on the walls of the lounge which was once salvaged along with many other items, and sold off from the luxuriously appointed ocean liner ``Doric`` when it was being broken up at John Cashmores Scrapyard Newport. When i was a young man, trying to impress the ladies like a fool, by taking this one and that one out to various pubs in my my car, we visited a pub a few few times which was near Machen/lower Machen. To explain it`s location,memory permitting----driving from Newport just before approaching the Machen area, turning right into a short lane leading to a pub, the lane then going on back down to the main road. The pub could have been called The Swan but i could be very wrong there. I remember sitting in the pub with the young lady and reading a brass plate on the wall proclaiming that the wood paneling on the walls there, and the paneling in the St. Julians Inn at Caerleon had also come from the ocean liner ``Doric `` when it was being scrapped in Newport. While recently visiting the Machen area i could not locate the pub, perhaps now residential. Does anyone have knowledge of this pub with the Doric paneling. I remember the paneling but i don`t remember who the young lady was.
