Halstead Gazette
You have covered some of Essex but the papers focus on Chelmsford and Colchester. I would love to see more from smaller towns
13 votesHi Jane
Thank you for the suggestion. We have investigated this title and have some good news for you – Halstead Gazette fits with our criteria and The British Library have sufficient holdings! We have now added it to our lengthy digitisation plan for the years 1857-1871. We have had to limit to 1871 due to current copyright restrictions with the rightsholder.We aim to get the best geographical coverage of the UK and will of course continue to add titles from all regions of the UK – including smaller locales.
Please keep an eye on our newsletters and social media pages for updates on titles which are newly added to the British Newspaper Archive – i.e. truly hot off the digital press!
Best wishes,
Team BNA

nuneaton tribune
It was founded by Harry Fieldhouse in 1895 as a monthly four-page newspaper entitled The People’s Tribune, but switched to weekly publication just two years later. Five years after that and it had expanded to become a daily newspaper, changing its name to the Midland Counties Tribune. It became the Nuneaton Evening Tribune in 1957.
