"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).

The Times
The Times. (the national one published in London). I'm surprised this isn't already available as you must have all the copies and I'm sure I was able to read them when you were at Colindale.

It ran 1921-1924: ''The only Journal solely devoted to the interests of the British film producing industry', it claims - accurately.

Temperance Newspapers
Why are there no temperance papers at all on here? This movement involved an estimated 10% of the population in 1900, and was one of the most influential cultural, social, and political forces for nearly 100 years - please catch up!!!! Such as the Temperance Companion, Alliance News, etc.
