Finding old news

[Vics128]

hi wondered if anyone could help..?
Something was in the local papers a few years back.. maybe 4/5 years ago. i dont know much about what happened, and im not sure on the surname of the person involved!
Do i have any hope in finding this article, and if so.. how would I go about it??
iv tried google searching the argus archives, but this didnt bring up the story in question!
TIA

The local library will have a copy of the daily news papers on micro film, you'll just have to scour through it.

good grief, on the topic page this came up as "45 years ago"...

Anyway, have you tried asking the Argus? Not all newspapers keep their own archives any more but it's a start.

> "45 years ago"...

I have noticed this before.

Answerbank often removes the slash in between numbers.
