"The Town" newspaper edited by Renton NICHOLSON (The Chief Lord Baron) ran between 1837 and 1840 focusing on Scandals and London Nightlife. Many of the topics written about in the paper were considered extremely vulgar at the time and it was often criticised for discussing these topics. Archibald Henning, who later worked for Punch, contributed many drawings of London residents to The Town. He often depicted controversial figures in London society on the first page of the paper. Ebenezer Landells was another early contributor who later moved to Punch. (Wikipeadia). This short run newspaper would offer a unique insight into the lives of Londoners during this time. BH
