More Scottish borders newspapers
There is a big gap in the 1890's for the Berwickshire News (1893-1900) and the The Berwick Advertiser (1893 -1896 and 1898 - 1903). These papers cover a wide area around the Borders with news from both England and Scotland. A very rich source of information.

Country Brewer's Gazette (became Brewers' Guardian)
Brewing and alcohol consumption has had a massive affect on society. It's made many people rich and has destroyed many more. Many town dignitaries came about through the brewing industry. Many of these were philanthropists and helped many towns develop and grow. There's much history associated with brewing.

The Everyman
Short-lived (1900s and 1929-1935) British magazine with a focus on art and writing. Attracted many famous writers - Sassoon, Chesterton, Belloc, etc. Also interesting because it took an explicitly political turn in the 1930s upon a change of ownership, going through a few editors, each with a different political bent (including the fascist yogi Francis Yeats-Brown and Ramsay MacDonald's friend Jean Elmslie, the Lady Dunedin).

Rathfriland ‘Outlook’
The ‘Outlook’ began publication around 1939 as a weekly and remains as such today. It is an important mirror for this rural part of South Down. You have the Newry Reporter until 1910 - given that Newry is now a city with a population of over 40k it would be a window into Newry’s past to extend the coverage. Also the Newry Telegraph - no longer published - would be valuable to have on line. These 3 titles would be my votes. Thanks

The Builder
The Builder was first published in 1843 and under the editorship of George Godwin (1844-83) it developed into "the most important and successful professional paper of its kind with a readership well beyond the architectural and building world". It featured not only landmark buildings – with fabulous illustrations – but also articles on more practical aspects of the building trade, sanitation and so on. Further background here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_(magazine)Some issues of The Builder are available online (http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/serial?id=builder) but many are not searchable. It would be wonderful if the British Newspaper Archive could spearhead a campaign to bring together…
