SOUTH WEST HERITAGE CENTRE ADDS NEWS WEEKLIES
South West Heritage Centre in Taunton has gratefully received a vast archive of carefully catalogued and restored local newspapers that have covered the surrounding areas for decades.
Part time media and community lecturer Duncan Williams (pictured above) says: "Regional newspapers record life in local towns in a way that creates a valuable historic testimony of rural life. While national newspapers are more focus on forging opinion leader articles, the regional press chronicles, the often fascinating detail, of daily living."
Many of the titles are out out of print, which adds to their interest.
The Pulman's Weekly News series, which served the West Country, was first launched way back in 1857.
