A Photo From The May 1960 Newspaper Archive

While getting out some May 1960 Newspaper orders from the Newspaper Archive I came across this great photo.



It shows Sterling Moss with his trophy after winning the Monaco Grand Prix, standing with him are Prince Rainer and Princess Grace of Monaco. Just the other day I was watching the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix and Sir Sterling Moss presented the Winners Trophy to Mark Webber. I wonder if back in May 1960 Sterling Moss would of thought he would be in the same place 50 years later presenting the trophy to someone else?

Gems like this photo above are just part of the enjoyment of getting someone their 1960 Date of Birth Newspaper. They will discover the news and sporting results that actually occurred on the day that they were born. So if you know someone who is celebrating their 50th Birthday in May then why not get them an Original Birthday Newspaper from 1960. To order a May 1960 Birthdate Newspaper simply visit http://paperspast.co.uk/orderbirthdatenewspapers.html

More 1920 Original Newspapers Devilered to the Papers Past Newspaper Archive

Wow, two large collections of original newspapers have been introduced into Papers Past's newspaper archive within the last month. Yesterday's newspaper delivery went to plan with Dad & I shifting our new collection in to the newspaper archive without too much fuss.

These old newspapers from the 1920's will help introduced to the other 1920 newspapers that we have. So any out of stock 1920 Birth date Newspapers are now back in stock and can be ordered by visiting http://paperspast.co.uk/orderbirthdatenewspapers.html or give us a ring on 01872 261220 9am-9pm 365 days a year.

I must admit (don't tell Dad as he didn't stop), when moving these old historical newspapers I stopped and had a quick flick through the pages. It was great to see that these back issue newspapers were in top condition considering they are from the 1920's and over 90 years old. I could of carried on reading them for ages but I don't think Dad would of appreciated moving all of them by himself!

A box of chocolate won't do as they always give you a thoughtful Birthday Present. So what do you get them to mark their 90th Birthday, hmmmm, good question!

Grandparents often talk about the good old days and say that us youngsters have never had it so good. So why not get them a Present from the Past and give them an Original Birthday Newspaper from the day they were born.

Birthdate newspaper archive spring clean

Yesterday was a really busy day in the newspaper archive.

There is an area towards the back of the store which hasn't been touched for years so the time had come for us to roll up our sleeves and get stuck in and move and organise loads of volumes of back editions.

In fact it didn't take very long and we unearthed a wealth of great "day you were born" Financial Times papers as well as some really interesting 1941 Times. The other rather scary thing we unearthed was a huge spider. Sam thinks its a deadly "Black Widow" spider, have a look at the picture to see if you can identify it and let us know.



Rest assured that all our Birthday Newspapers are fully checked for these little critters before they are Gift Packed and posted first class. To order your "spiderless"Original Newspaper from the Day You were Born simply visit us on the "web" (sorry for the pun)http://www.paperspast.co.uk/ or give us a ring on 01872 261220 9am-9pm 365 days a year.
