FIFTY YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (9th - 15th JANUARY 1973)
This week's many stories include the hunt for the Fleet Lane sadist that was torturing dogs, the boys that set fire to church buildings, Whiston Council's rebel school milk scheme begins, the head of Central Secondary declares the new Water Street car park a danger to his pupils, the muddy state of Monastery Road in Sutton and the Blackbrook club with modern facilities – but with no gas, electricity or water supplies.
