Believe it is the Hexham Courant


Leicester Merc ?

(Rutland &) Stamford Mercury is supposed to date from 1695. Their website says:


Stamford Mercury: Established in 1695, the Rutland and Stamford Mercury is the oldest newspaper in Britain. http://www.wvnewspapers.co.uk/


Worcester Journal
the Worcester Journal is 5 yrs older than the Stamford mercury ......apparently.
The Bolton Evening News claims to be the oldest 'evening' newspaper (which after all was the question) dating back to 1867.
