Enfield Gazette & Observer
Some people called it the Gazette, others the Observer. It was, and probably still is, a weekly. I'd love to browse 20th century editions esp. 1930s.

There good coverage for the Birmingham area but not the Black Country
185 votesHi, A quick update – we have added the Dudley Herald to our Digitisation Plan for future digitisation!
Thanks for your votes. There’s obviously a gap in the West Midlands / Black Country – we’ll start seeing what we can do about it!

News of the World
Some may laugh but the NoW is an invaluable source of extra information regarding court cases in particular, providing colour and additional background information on the protagonists. Don't underestimate its value to the historian/researcher - whether amateur or professional. If you don't believe me then compare and contrast a Times report with the same case in the NoW.
I'm especially keen for access to the archive from the early half of the 20th century.
