Introduction

History of Worcestershire Newspapers

Newspapers are a marvellous source of information but what they

contain varies much according to period. There were restrictions on

the press until the aftermath of the ‘Glorious Revolution’ in 1688.

After this, newspaper production began in force, with London taking

the lead, but the provinces following closely behind. The Berrow's

Worcester Journal, the newspaper with the longest continuous

history of publication in England, began regularly in 1709. There are

even hints that it began earlier in 1690. Stephen Bryan was the

proprietor and its first name was The Worcester Postman. It then

became Worcester Post/Journal in 1722, the Weekly Worcester

Journal in 1730, and Berrow's Worcester Journal in 1753 to

distinguish it from another Worcester Journal. In 1937 it merged with

The Worcestershire Advertiser to produce the Worcester Evening

News & Times.

Information Provided by Worcestershire Newspapers

Newspapers were a way for people to find out about scandal, crime

and social events and what was happening nationally. As literacy

levels increased, so did the demand and local tradesmen cashed in

by advertising profusely. Local newspapers often take a standard

format:

National and county news

Advertisements

Court reports

Local events and family announcements

Limitations of Worcestershire Newspapers

The series of newspapers on microfilm is by no means a complete

one; there are many gaps. Also, due to the age of some of the

material, there is often damage and degradation. The print is also

often very small.

Newspapers, as today, are written with the bias of the reporter, so

any information gleaned should be taken with this in mind. Be

careful to distinguish facts from opinions.

Ways of Using Worcestershire Newspapers

Newspapers can be used to find out about:

Births, marriages and deaths and the arrangements surrounding

these.

4

Local reactions to national events.

Local events, especially scandalous ones.

The lives of important local people, especially through obituaries.

The amount and type of crime in the area and the associated

punishments.

What businesses were in the area.

What products were available for purchase.

Location of Worcestershire Newspapers

The newspapers held at the Worcestershire Archives and

Archaeology Service tend to focus on Worcester City.

Local libraries often hold the papers for their locality. The

newspapers are usually on microfilm rather than in hard-copy form.

Using the Handlist

This handlist is arranged in alphabetical order of newspapers. After

each list there may be some specific notes that relate to that

newspaper, for example, any name changes.

Notes The Worcester Daily Times was established on 5 January 1880. On 1 November 1937 four newspapers, The Berrow’s Worcester Journal, Worcestershire Advertiser, Worcester Evening Times and The Worcester Evening News were merged. Out of this came Berrow’s Worcester Journal and The Worcester Evening News and Times, later called The Worcester Evening News and Worcester News. Copies of the newspaper are also available at the British Library Newspaper Library. Some copies are also held by Droitwich Library.
