Your Local Central Library will have the Local Newspapers going back to the year dot. Find the Local studies section. They are usually on Microfilm.

"District" Libraries usually have micro-filmed copies of local (and national) newspapers. You haven't specified any particular 'local'.

[MM]

Yes, I had thought of that. But I want to see prices of houses where I used to live, in Kent. I now live in the Fens.
