Fire At Upper Cross Row Rhymney

A Memory of Rhymney.

Does anyone remember the fire at Upper Cross Row in Rhymney? There was a photo taken, also the tv crew were there. The reason I'm asking is, the two children in the photos are of me and my best friend Gwyneth Lewis. I was Cheryl Powell, I lived at 16 Lower Cross Row. I remember the fire as if it was yesturday. So if anyone knows anymore, I would be very interested.

I would have been 3 years old, family name Sims (parents Roger and Margaret) . We lived in Upper Cross Row, got moved to temporary accommodation in Tredegar following the fire.

We then lived in prefabs in bottom Rhymney forma short while before moving to a new house.

I remember a friend called Roderick, the fire started in his house.

I also had a friend called Clayton Powell, any relation?
