Fleet Street
Fleet Street is a major street mostly in the City of London. It runs west to east from Temple Bar at the boundary with the City of Westminster to Ludgate Circus at the site of the London Wall and the River Fleet from which the street was named. The street has been an important through route since Roman times. During the Middle Ages, businesses were established and senior clergy lived there; several churches remain from this time including Temple Church and St Bride's. The street became known for printing and publishing at the start of the 16th century, and it became the dominant trade so that by the 20th century most British national newspapers operated from here. Much of that industry moved out in the 1980s after News International set up cheaper manufacturing premises in Wapping, but some former newspaper buildings are listed and have been preserved. The term ''Fleet Street'' remains a metonym for the British national press, and pubs on the street once frequented ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Graphic
''The Graphic'' was a British weekly illustrated newspaper, first published on 4 December 1869 by William Luson Thomas's company Illustrated Newspapers Ltd. Thomas's brother Lewis Samuel Thomas was a co-founder. The premature death of the latter in 1872 "as one of the founders of this newspaper, nd whotook an active interest in its management" left a marked gap in the early history of the publication. It was set up as a rival to the popular ''Illustrated London News''. The influence of ''The Graphic'' within the art world was immense, its many admirers included Vincent van Gogh, and Hubert von Herkomer.Mark Bills, "Thomas, William Luson (1830–1900)", ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004 It continued to be published weekly under this title until 23 April 1932 and then changed title to ''The National Graphic'' between 28 April and 14 July 1932; it then ceased publication, after 3,266 issues. From 1890 until 1926, Luson Thomas's company, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sunday News (UK)
''Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper'', called the ''Sunday News'' after 1924, was an early Sunday newspaper in the United Kingdom, launched in 1842., ceased publication in 1931. Founding Edward Lloyd launched ''Lloyd’s Weekly Newspaper'' in 1842. It was the first of three popular papers to be created for those who only had the leisure to read on Sundays. It was followed by the '' News of the World'' in 1843 and ''Reynold's News'' in 1850. On 16 February 1896, ''Lloyd’s Weekly'' became the only British newspaper in the nineteenth century to sell more than a million copies. Curiously enough, that day would have been Lloyd's 81st birthday had he lived beyond the age of 75. Lloyd was already a prolific publisher of periodicals and serialised fiction. He had created titles that sounded like newspapers, such as the ''Lloyd’s Penny Sunday Times and People’s Police Gazette'', but these were a sham to avoid paying stamp duty. The sham lay in printing fictitious or historical stories echoi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
