Abstract
The Blackpool Gazette & Herald (1874 - 1919) was a weekly newspaper which has been digitised by the British Library for the Living with Machines project. All but one of these datasets is currently unavailable due to a technical glitch when uploading larger files into the repository. Hopefully this will be resolved and all the datasets will be available by the end of March 2023.
