I have always enjoyed searching old newspaper archives. As a boy I would enjoy scrolling through the Microfiche at my local library reading interesting stories from yesteryear. Now in the digital age I have spent many happy hours searching for interesting stories from the many digital newspaper acrchives that can be found online. And it was whilst searching these acrchives that I had an idea for a series of blog posts that I hope you will find as interesting as I do.
I have built a collection of many folklore themed newpaper cuttings that I thought I would share with you our dear readers.
The first in this series is an article I found in the County Echo from 1904, enjoy.
