I wrote a book about my old school and its catchment area. Not only did the Precot Reporter provide invaluable info to assist my research, I also found articles I had not seen before about my fathers return from the Korean War. I am currently writing another book and I have to book library time to access the Reporter on microfiche - being online would be fantastic.

Great for looking up ancestry info, fascinating views of days gone by

Invaluable source of information about a place with a fascinating history and fascinating residents. Please add to your archive.

Vital to anyone doing research on the area must be archived.

Please add the Prescot reporter to the archive . It would be invaluable to anyone looking into the family tree.

such a store of family history. As an Expat would be great to be able to read again the events of my childhood and further back into Prescot and surrounds' history.

Oops, should read 'extensive' and there's a comma missing but can't edit it now sorry!!

The Prescot and Huyton reporter would be a valuable asset to local historians if it were to be digitised and made available online. The Beechams of 'Ewanville' in Huyton were a prominent family in the late 19th and early 20th century and press coverage would have been extensove and interesting. The massive changes to Huyton Village over the years will have also received plenty of coverage. The same applies to Prescot, there must be a wealth of unseen articles and pictures relating to this historic area. Also, consider the railway connection to the area, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway company was the first to rely exclusively on steam power, the first to be signaled, the first to carry mail the first timetabled service!! The articles and pictures relating to this alone will likely generate large numbers of railway enthusiasts eager to explore the archives! Please consider including the Prescot and Huyton Reporter to your already excellent index.

So much local history wasted by not having this available

This Per is invaluable for family research
