Lots of history in and around Accrington: The Accrington Pals, Accrington Stanley Football team, the mining disasters in the area particularly the Whinney Hill pit disaster at Altham in Accrington...

Accrington Lancashire
Accrington Observer and Times

I'd love to see the Accrington Observer digitally available online too!

Family and local history is important in the Hyndburn area, the Accrington Pals, the mining disaster at Whinny Hill etc. As a long term family history researcher I would appreciate very much being able to see the Accrington Observer archives online as I know many other people would too. Thank you for your consideration.

Yes please, I would love for the Observer to be available for online search.

Local newspaper for the legendary Accrington Pals battalion (pals.org.uk), Accrington FC (founder member of the Football League) and Accrington Stanley. Detailed First World War content. Historians worldwide will want to see this newspaper made available online.

A lot of history and many references to The Accrington Pals which form an important part of World War 1 History

Agree with this comment from 'Anonymous' An important newspaper for Accrington & surrounding district since 1887. Notable reporting on the tragedy of the Accrington Pals in 1916.

the most important newspaper in the Accrington area for family articles and information, I would love to be able to search through old copies.
