Newspaper Archives - Bournville
« on: Monday 23 April 07 17:42 BST (UK) »
I have recently found out that an ancestor, George Arnold Best, died in a street accident on 21st October 1937 in Bournville.
I am sure it must have been reported in the newspaper at that time.  Does anyone have access to newspaper archives from that time, or can put me in the right direction as to where to search?
Thank you.   Smiley

The Newspaper Library at Colindale, North London would be your best bet. It's part of the British Library...
