Demolition site (2), High Street, Blackwood
Image: © Jaggery Taken: 3 May 2013
The site is on the corner of High Street and Woodbine Road. In the early hours of May 1st 2013, a large fire severely damaged the Poundstretcher store. Dozens of firefighters tackled the blaze, which closed High Street. A large plume of smoke rose above the town. This view, taken 2 days later, shows that the Poundstretcher store has already been mostly demolished. It appears that the Timpson shoe shop on the left will also be demolished as a result of fire damage.
