From the Durham County Advertiser 50 years ago. – Just before seven o’clock last Saturday evening, the dark clouds which had threatened all day parted like a gigantic stage curtain and the sun blazed down on the riverside.

There is “war” in the usually peaceful villages of Hamsteels, Cornsay and Esh: the people are “up in arms”.

The villagers are dazed, hurt and angry.
