Taken from their 2012 album ‘When Our Grandfathers Said No’, The Battle of Stockton Town by The Young’uns is our track of the week.
When Our Grandfathers Said No is a line from The Battle of Stockton, recalling an incident in 1933 when Oswald Mosely’s Blackshirts targeted deprived areas as potential fascist hotbeds and marched over the Tees – to be physically repelled by 2,000 outraged Stockton townsfolk.
