Pentwyn Road past Blackwood War Memorial
Pentwyn Road ascends towards Lewis Lewis Avenue. Lewis Lewis (also known as Lewsyn yr Heliwr) was one of the 26 people arrested and put on trial for taking part in the Merthyr Rising of 1831. Originally sentenced to hang, his sentence was downgraded to a life sentence and penal transportation to Australia when one of the police officers who had tried to disperse the crowd testified that Lewis Lewis had tried to shield him from the rioters. Lewis Lewis was transported in 1832. He died in Port Macquarie in 1847.
