Hi guys & guyesses
And for something completely dumb from someone in the antipodes.
In general when did newspapers per se start in UK and was there
newsletters or flyers or the like before newsletters.
In particular, how early in the 19th century can newspapers or
newsletters or announcements or proclamations be found.
In particular for Leeds and surrounding towns.
thanks

> Can a kind person advise if local papers such as 'The Northern Echo' and
'Darlington and Stockton Times' have archive copies available for public
inspection. How far back do they date? Are they readable on-line or at
central libraries?
