Newspaper revolution

edit

Furbybrain, re this edit - this was, IIRC, when all the London-based newspapers quit Fleet Street for Wapping and other East London locations. Many of them had also had offices and printing works in Manchester - the Daily Mirror, for example, was on the eastern corner of the junction where Withy Grove meets Corporation Street, very close to Exchange station (and slightly closer to Victoria); The Guardian was on Deansgate, also convenient for Exchange. With the opening of the new printing works in the London docklands, the Manchester works rapidly became outdated, and were closed. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:51, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
