Google is probably the best place to start. Reg

Hi Hayley. The copies of local newspapers are normally archived at local records archives. In addition, most are also available at the National Newspaper Archive at Colindale. That is part of the British Library. And guess what - it's just north of Cricklewood. I have a readers ticket. Jim
