Swindon Echo Newspaper

This is a copy of the first print of the Swindon Echo on 13th July, 1962. It gives an accurate account of what was happening in general around Swindon and was hoped to be a rival for the long established, 'Swindon Advertiser.' However, it never lived up to expectation and is not published today.

Our thanks to Tony Crabtree for donating this to us.
