Newspapers from the St. Helens, Warrington & Wigan area.
This area of South West Lancashire has over 750,000 inhabitants but no local newspaper coverage in the archive. The Manchester & Liverpool newspapers are great for the regional picture but poor on local stories.

A valuable source of information for all Family Historians should be added .

The Prescot Reporter and St. Helens General Advertiser. Such valuable information would benefit many.

Would love to see newspapers from Prescot and Huytons past. This was the main paper for our area.

This paper ran through a vital time in the development of Huyton & Prescot. With Huyton as the city expanded and for Prescot as it fought to retain it's independent culture, etc.

Really must save this newspaper archive, so much information in it, and ALL local to Prescot and Huyton.

Prescot needs to be able to access its heritage, this would be so helpful

This is the newspaper local to Prescot, and everyone in the area used to buy it, even before the Liverpool Echo. This would be a great advantage to us genealogists learning about our ancestors. Thank you.

I would strongly support the idea of adding one or more newspapers from central south Lancashire. Warrington, St Helen's and the otheer towns in this area have a very different social and economic structure from the Liverpool and Manchester conurbations.
