Remembering the 13 young people killed in a fire in New Cross

18 January, 2021 By //  by Nitocris Leave a Comment

On Sunday 18 January 1981 a fire broke out in a house in New Cross Road, Deptford, South East London, killing 13 young people and marking a massive change for black people in Britain.

Thirteen people died in the blaze and another, committed suicide 18 months later in July 1983, aged 20, having been traumatised by the tragedy.

In this video, we remember the young people and the events that led to a positive change for Black people in Britain.
