The Blackwood Chartist
On a rainy November night in 1839 hundreds of men from Blackwood walked south to face troops armed with muskets in the Westgate Hotel in Newport and of course some paid with their lives. This figure stands for the fallen, the fallen away, who failed to fulfil promises made, and all the men from neighbouring valleys who struggled through the darkness and elements to make their world and ours a better place.

Southern boundary of Oakdale
The road north from Penmaen reaches Oakdale, a large village in Caerphilly county borough.
Oakdale is unusual in this area in that there is no Welsh form of its name. The village of Oakdale was an early 20th century creation of industrialists who wanted to exploit the untapped coal reserves of this part of the Sirhowy valley.The fact that Oakdale was largely a planned village can still be seen in the shape of the village's central road (Central Avenue) and transverse roads making a horseshoe shape.
