The newspapers from the past are a rich archive of stories about real people and their extraordinary lives. In this podcast I will be telling the stories of the most interesting tales that I find from the British Newspaper Archive which covers the 17th – 20th Century. They are an incredible record of the past and the stories within them are fascinating and often sensationalist, amusing, sad, and most definitely surprising. I’ll be trawling the papers and piecing together the stories of people that I find and telling them here and on the News From the Past Blog. https://newsfromthepastblog.wordpress.com/
