'Plymouth Herald 1970-1990' has been merged into this idea

Devon Newspapers

You have some Devon papers, but currently your coverage is very patchy. I'm looking for a family in the first half of the C.20th in the Torbay area, but coming up empty. There are many, many Devon titles available, according to this link…

    This was probably the biggest selling and most widely read westcountry paper of 1970-1990 and it really ought to be on this archive because the alternative westcountry publications were very limited in what they covered

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Western Morning News covering Devon Cornwall and Somerset - Devon is not represented at all in the archive yet. Ridiculous!

    Would be advantageous to have this up and running .

    Nineteenth century newpapers serving the Plymouth connurbation: Plymouth, Devonport/Dock and Stonehouse. Plymouth is the largest English settlement west of Bristol, and at present poorly represented in the British Newspaper Archive

    19th century East Stonehouse, Devon papers please. Also Newton Abbot, Combeinteignhead and Stokeinteignhead papers.

    Would like to see some papers that cover the Tavistock area.

  • Sally Hayward commented  ·   ·  Report

    The Tavistock Times and Tavistock Gazette for this period would be much appreciated and news to cover Dartmoor villages

  • Mark Collyer commented  ·   ·  Report

    Devon is already very well covered (3 Exeter newspapers!) compared to Dorset where you have only 5 years of the main Dorchester-based newspaper

  • Jason Smart commented  ·   ·  Report

    We definitely need some coverage for Plymouth in the nineteenth century. You have copies of the Exeter and Plymouth Gazette, but, despite its name, it deals with Plymouth only in a peripheral and generally not very useful way.

    We had 1921-1950 complete and then it stopped.

    A few weeks ago four months of 1894 were uploaded, but nothing since.

    Can we continue to fill in from 1894 to 1920?

    Pre 1894 and post 1950 would also be good.
