Bargoed Boxing Hall Blaze
« on: Tuesday 01 January 19 14:53 GMT (UK) »
Happy New Year to everyone

I am researching boxing clubs in the town of Bargoed and leading up to the Christmas holidays I took out a months subscription and made note of all bouts found in newspapers between 1924-1933.  Could I please ask a favour of someone to copy the details of the fire in the following newspapers.  Your help and kindness will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.     

BOXING HALL BLAZE 5 February 1934 - Western Mail

SEVENTEEN ENGINES AND 200 MEN FIGHT BLAZE 18 October 1937 - Western Daily Press
anything and everything to do with the village of Brithdir, near New Tredegar in Gwent.
