Hi,

Does anyone have any idea where I could find out about local news stories, or maybe even download a copy of a Sheffield newspaper, for a specific date in 1965?

We're putting together a birthday pack for my friends 40th, and it owuld be great to include some of the big local news events of that year?

While we have found companies which provide national news events; we have been unable to find anything local.

Any help would be great, thanx
Dave

Sheffield Star web site (http://www.sheffieldtoday.net) this is the web site of the local Sheffield paper, the Sheffield Star.

Hope that helps :)

hmmmmmmmm i just tried that sheffield star news archive.....load of crap
i tried searching for my mate jolls's death.......tried julian skelton, skelton, dwarf, jools, jules came up with nothing

also tried woodhouse...again came up with nothing :(

fancied finding some older news stories i mightve missed not living in sheffield the past 12 years

Doesn't the library have this sort of stuff ?

Yes, the Sheffield Central library is probably your best bet, I once did some research about the blitz and the librarians were most helpful with supplying archived copies of the Sheffield star.

and its all held electronically these days too...
