Yorkshire Evening News (Leeds)
For whatever reason Leeds doesn’t seem have to comprehensive coverage available certainly not concerning late 20th century editions please review this in a timely manner please
Also the Leeds Express which incorporated the Skyrack Express would provide a significant insight into the local area

Chorley Weasel
A relative of mine, Edwin Crew, created a small local newspaper called the Chorley Weasel. As far as I know, it only ran during the 1880s but it sounds like it would be a curious title to add to the BNA website, especially for Edwins reports on local campaigns.
As local historian Andrew Alston writes, "Edwin started a newspaper, the “Chorley Weasel, a local political and social journal of current events”. The Weasel’s content was mostly local politics, but presented in a humorous fashion. Some of the jokes in there are still doing the rounds. The rest of the paper…

"The Town" newspaper edited by Renton NICHOLSON 1837 to 1840
"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.

Northern Review 1887-1892
Northern Review was a Victorian journal covering all aspects of life in a weekly supplement. It's an incredibly interesting insight into life in the North East at the time, accompanied by many interesting sketches that are lacking from the main newspapers at the time such as the Gazette, the Northern Echo, the Northern Weekly Gazette and the Stockton Herald.
Crucially for the practical side of things, as there is no copyright on this publication as it has been defunct for so long, I don't believe there would be many obstacles in making it available online. The British Library hold copies…

Arbroath Guide 1842-1843
The first two years of the Guide would be useful to fill the remaining gap in this publication. Arbroath had a most active community from the late 1830s.

Dundee Perth & Cupar Advertiser
Filling the gap 1836-1838 would be useful though the Dundee Courier for these dates or better 1836-1843 would also ideally fill a gap not covered elsewhere.

Missing Sunderland papers
There has been nothing futher added to the Sunderland Echo for nearly 3 years, there are many large gaps in the runs, and nothing at all after 1954. For the 19th Century we need to see the Sunderland Herald (1831-1906), Sunderland Times (1844-1880) and the Sunderland Weekly Echo (1881-1911).
