Would love to be able to look up old family items

Waterloo and Crosby have such historical connections, not just with the battle of Waterloo,but with so many existing houses built by slave traders, the Titanic/White Star Line, and being in such close proximity to a city almost obliterated during the 2nd world war

Great to find local articles easier

GR8 idea would love to look back were I grew up

The Crosby Herald was very much a local paper, focusing on events that happened within the area. Nearly every family used it to give news of hatches, matches and dispatches. Having it digitalised would be of huge benefit to the thousands of people who are researching their family trees.

Miss it

Sadly missed

Great idea!

Great newspaper. We need to be reminded of our past and hopefully progress in the future.

It would provide an accessible archive of the town

A people’s history of an historic town.

A great local paper sadly missed

Local history and photos of a iconic paper

The local paper of a major suburb of Liverpool. The paper includes a wealth of knowledge given it was in print for a significant period of time. The benefit to historians and local residents would be immense.

Please digitalise, lived in the area as a kid and would love the daughters to have a record, thank you.

Local newspapers carried a wealth of information which will be increasingly useful to people tracing their past and that of the local community.

A digital form of papers which have 'disappeared' like the Crosby Herald and Bootle Times would provide a valuable source for those who assist people with memory loss and dementia. Also visually impaired people. Looking back to past stories can be of great value. And local history is vital for youngsters to know about their area in the past.

Local newspapers carry the local stories the big national and regional papers don't print.

Would love to see this digitised. So many memories contained in the pages

Definitely this. Really miss it.
