Aller Archives from the British Library

Aller through the Ages: Former Allerite Rob Mayor writes that the British Library has put its newspaper archive online. "You have to pay to see the articles in full, but most give you the top few lines for free. I quite like the 1880 story about the man from Aller who attempted to walk to Bridgwater and back in 4 hours, but failed by 1 minute as the roads were heavy!"

Check out Aller through the ages (more than 100 years ago) through this link. You can also search for your favorite local landmarks.

  1. That's brilliant, several people are interested in an Aller history society. This should provide loads of material.
