Does anyone know of this article about how kids were more organized and self sufficient back in the mid century?

Sometime ago I read an article on this subreddit detailing how a bunch of kids in a town in England (I think) in the 50s or 60s waged a campaign against the local monster/vampire by attacking the place they believed the monster to reside. The article made the point how the kids (I think 100+) were able to look after each other, look after the youngest, and organise and achieve a task. Any idea?
