Not Birmingham exactly , but close and possibly of interest to some
| Coleshill Chronicle | 1991-1992, 1997-1998 |
The site has added some recent issues of a paper that might be of interest
| Wolverhampton Express and Star | 1965, 1969-1970, 1976, 1979-1983 |
Added this month. Not specifically Birmingham, but does have some Birmingham articles and many adverts.(57,000 hits in total). though at present there seems to be a glitch in accessing the actual articles. this will presumably soon be sorted.
| Country Life | 1897-2009 |
Concerning the last post. I contacted the archive concerning not being able to access pages and have been told that they are aware of a problem with this publication and are trying to correct the problem. I note that some pages are in colour,, and wonder if this might have contributed to the problem
