Throwback Thursday takes us all the way back to where it began. 📖✨

This month, we’re digging deep into the County Lines archive to revisit some of our earliest pages, stories and surprises. And what better place to start than the letter from the editor in our very first issue, published in September 1977?

As we celebrate our golden anniversary, it’s fun to look back at the ideas that launched County Lines — and see just how much has changed (and what hasn’t!).

Take a trip back to 1977 with the original letter and a selection of ads from our early issues: bit.ly/4gjYypI
