Appleby In the News

Over the years articles concerning Appleby Magna have appeared in the local press. Scanned Images of the Tamworth Herald, covering the years 1827 to 1950, and Leicester Chronicle (1877-1900) are now available at The British Newspaper Archive.

All research and supply of source material was done via The British Newspaper Archive, www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk

The frequency of the Appleby news items is very inconsistent, but below is a sample of some of the items printed over the years.

Simply click on a headline to link to the news report. All the files are in .pdf format, so a suitable reader (e.g. Adobe) is required. Zoom In/Out is required in order to make some articles more easily read. Files will open in a separate browser window or tab.

With thanks to Chris Bee for sourcing and preparing these items.
