Oldham Chronicle |
| Back in 1854 Oldham a thriving cotton town had no newspaper of
its own. Instead they had to rely on Manchester papers for news about the
surrounding town and local districts. A local bookseller and printer Daniel
Evans launched the Oldham Chronicle, but within a few years it was sold a couple
of times. The editor Jonathan Hirst took up the reins with a £800 investment
which formed the foundation of the present company. It’s circulation increased
and soon it was published twice a week, being increased to six times a week over
the years. It moved to its present home in Union Street in 1923 where it remains
today. We’ve coded this NEW as we intend in future to categorise all newspaper liveries in this way. As the newspaper is taking 600 we only have 400 for the club. |
