All this old information should be kept,so that in the future can look back and get this local news

Important to Preserve our local History .

I live out of the area now and would love to see this online.

Part of our local history and must be preserved

Many of the old buildings in and around Hinckley have been lost to time, and various council improvement schemes.These include what would have been
classed as of historical interest today, and as such should have been preserved. The Hinckley Times archives are a great source of discovery for our younger generation of the town, for the local history they portray through their columns, and the extensive collection of photographs of the long lost buildings and those depicting ways of life and events that for many are part of the framework of which they grew up in. As such it is imperative that these archives are digitised. Thank you

My grandad had an accident- it may have been in the 1930s - he had started a new job delivering coal - the horse bolted and he suffered a fractured spine. It would be wonderful to find a record of this and the facts rather than vague references from the family.

I live out of the area but I like to keep up with what's past and present

I have friends and relations who have moved out of the area who would love to be able to look at back copies of the Hinckley Times, and I would also love to look at back copies

Preserve these documents. If they go they can't be retrieved.

This is the only primary source of Hinckley social history that we have. The film we have is very poor and the actual papers are degrading rapidly. Please save this unique archive for us and our future generations.

the history of this area should be preserved

I would love to be able to read the back copies, but even more so to be able to show my grand daughter.

Please digitise.

I only had memories of my childhood in John Nicholls st and surrounding streets but Hinckley times posted pictures and I could show my children and grandchildren where I played

Social history so many photographs that should be kept

So much history It cannot be lost.

The Hinckley Times and Guardian has been a narrator of our local history and as such should be digitised to provide a source for the generations to come.

The Hinckley Times is a must save for future generations

The Hinckley Times has been sharing & recording the history of the area for many years. Our streets, people, families, shops, factories, businesses & daily lives have all been included in the weekly editions. It is ‘a way of life’, to keep up with births, marriages, deaths, jobs, events, properties, politics, buying & selling as well as general news. Please save our histories for posterity to enjoy, by digitising past copies of this newspaper, before they are lost forever.

So important for local history research
