1940 Boxing Day

Workers in 1940 were asked by the Government to work on Boxing Day to keep up the War Effort. A decree went out in November asking all workers only to take one day holiday between Christmas and New Year.
Last week we took an order for an original newspaper dated 26th December 1940 so I was hopeful to find a Boxing Day Times from 70 years ago in the archive. I soon got to the December 1940 volumes and leafed through the pages, stopping a few times to read an article or check out an advert, only to find that no editions were in fact published. However, it turned out that the 28th December 1940 paper, a Saturday, reviewed all of the Christmas Day and Boxing Day news in some detail. Thankfully the newspaper reported that there were not any air raids over the holiday period.
To obtain a 1940 Original Times Newspaper simply go to www.paperspast.co.uk .

Newspaper Archive, 1941 stocks received.

Papers Past, The Birthday Newspaper Specialists, based in Cornwall have survived the floods from a couple of weeks ago but this week have been affected by heavy snow! The main newspaper archive in central Truro is fine and most orders are still being dispatched same or next day by first class post but newspapers from 1983 onwards are kept in a warehouse towards Redruth where the snow is making the roads unsafe. However a thaw is forecast shortly and normal service is sure to be resumed asap. Apologies to any customers whose orders are delayed by a day or two.
Meanwhile we are happy to announce that a new collection of newspapers has recently been delivered to bolster up the stocks of 1941 editions. Phone us on (01872) 261220 to order, they make brilliant gifts for anyone going to be 70 next year.

Born on 22 November 1943 tennis player Billie Jean King and cricketer Mushtaq Mohammed both celebrate their 67th birthdays today. Other famous sports stars with birthdays today include Boris Becker, 43, and Marvan Atapattu, 40.
The Papers Past archive includes newspapers reporting all of their sporting achievements. We had a request for a sporting newspaper last week, not from a player but from a cricketing fan who remembers being in a press photograph in 1971 when he was standing next to the Indian cricket team, we searched the August 1971 sports pages and found some of the team photos which we emailed to the enquirer but it turned out that he wasn't in any of the pictures that we sent.

90th Birthday Today 8th November 1920

Which famous character is 90 years old today? I'll give you some clues - He is six years older than Winnie the Pooh and pre dates Paddington Bear by four decades. His first chore was to go to the market for his mother and buy honey, fruit and eggs. He is dressed as a small boy in a scarf, sweater and pair of checked trousers. There is a museum in Canterbury all about him.
Answer - Rupert the Bear.
Yes, way back on 8th November 1920 saw the very first Daily Express cartoon strip featuring Rupert the Bear. Unfortunately the Papers Past Newspaper Archive does not contain this Historic Newspaper but editions of The Times Newspaper are in stock for this and most other 1920 dates. See the website http://www.paperspast.co.uk/ or http://www.birthdaytimesnewspapers.co.uk/ .
