    3. Hi, Just if it might be of interest to anyone researching Shropshire (or Herefordshire or Monmouthshire) ancestry . I've put just over ten years worth of the Salopian Journal newspaper from my personal collection online at a new website called Last Chance To Read In total there are 1250 rare newspapers available to search (probably some of which are unique) and represents under 10% of my collection You need to register and can then view free "cuttings" from the newspapers centred on your search term. You can then download and view a page or the whole newspaper on a pay for download basis. The OCR isn't perfect (but this isn't uncommon) and I would recommend after an initial search - tick the "fuzzy" search on a scale of 1 which may bring up some more of interest. Best Regards Richard Heaton
