Pupils hold memorial on 40th anniversary of New Cross fire

Pupils from two primary schools held a memorial service at the site of the New Cross fire to mark the tragedy’s 40th anniversary. On January 18, 1981, a blaze ripped gutted a small, terraced house on New Cross Road, killing 13 young black people who gathered for a birthday party. Frustration at the failure of authorities to properly investigate the incident and the perceived indifference of the government to the suffering of the black community culminated in protests, as 20,000 marched through London under the slogan “13 dead, nothing said.” Children from Lucas Vale and Grinling Gibbons Primary schools held a short memorial service at the site of the New Cross Fire and at the nearby memorial in Fordham Park on Monday.
