The most interesting info I found was the threats and pressure the old bill placed on people to keep their traps shut.
My late mother-in-law lived in danescourt and was queuing up one morning in the local post office when someone in the queue turned around and said to the woman behind her "you're Maxine Carr". Cue the woman identified running out of the shop into the distance. Several cars and a van appeared at her rented place very quickly and she was whisked off at speed.
