Does anyone remember a newspaper in Stamford in the 1930s? I think it was called the Stamford and District News and was published on Tuesday evenings. I believe the editor wsa Mr Burbidge who lived in Alexandra Road. It was never much of a competitor to the Mercury and I think it closed in 1939 when the war started. I wonder if there is still a copy anywhere.

No advert in the 1936 Guide though. Roger Partridge September 6, 2013 @ 12:32 PM Reply  |  Email  |  Print  |  Top Have to amend the above post. The "Stamford and Rutland News" was still being advertised in the 1936 Stamford Guide
