Old News

Wrapped around defunct heating pipes in the basement was a thick layer of newspaper.  Removing it as part of the basement tidying I find that under the coal-dust-blackened and crumbly outer layers were rather good condition papers and magazines...

...from 1958!

What strikes me is that, prices aside, a remarkably high proportion of the 'news' is very little different to today.

Interesting offer by the Daily Sketch (seems a Daily Fail of it's day).
