Our Big Waterloo Scrapbook
News cuttings from 1914 - 2000
These newspaper cuttings are taken from The British Newspaper Archive, a subscription service that enables researchers to delve into the past and discover stories around favourite topics.
As the images shown are jpeg files, they do not permit word searches, so we have added key words to assist future researchers.
The scrap book is far from complete as you will see. Some articles are barely legible, but they have been included whilst we work on ways to improve their clarity.
In addition, we believe that you may have news cuttings about our club that could be included. If you have any that we might use, please email Pete Cureton at [email protected] and we can discuss how best to scan them in. Or if you have any suggestions about the book, please get in touch.
