zeelandvrouw 0 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi is there anyone out there who knows what the local paper in Basford was called.? It was about in the 1930s and 1940s. Ive got a copy of a page from it but there`s nothing on the top to say what it was. Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 In the 1930s there were several " local" newspapeas. But how about this one? Hucknall Dispatch & Leen Valley Mercury. Published Thursday. Yorke Street Hucknall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,536 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hucknall Dispatch is still going isn't it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I got the information from a Kelly's directory of 1936 Living in Loughborough I've no idea of any "local" papers in Nottingham(or shire) that are or not still in print. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,665 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm sure I saw somewhere on this site some copies of past local papers from Basford,(might have been 1940's/1950's) not sure where,maybe under Bulwell and Basford heading, was last year I think, not very helpful I know but someone on here will search it out for you Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Does the Basford Bystander go back that far? The present one doesn't, but maybe it is named after an old paper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 There used to be lots of small publications years ago but all got absorbed into each other. Look at the Nottingham Evening Post, The Nottingham Evening News, The Guardian Journal and the Nottinghamshire Guardian just to name four. They've even kicked the 'Evening' out of the Nottingham Post now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I would imagine that the Local Studies Library would know which papers were around at the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
