The ''Nottingham Journal'' was a newspaper published in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands in England. During that time, the paper went through several title changes through mergers, take-overs, acquisitions and ownership changes. ==History== Nottingham's first newspaper was probably ''The Weekly Courant'', published by William Ayscough in August, 1712. It was followed by The ''Nottingham Post'' in 1716. In 1723 Ayscough took over the Post and later that year he published ''The Nottingham Weekly Courant''. ''The Courant'' lasted until 1769, when Samuel Cresswell bought it and in 1787 changed its name to ''The Nottingham Journal''. In 1775 he was joined by George Burbage and ''Cresswell and Burbage's Nottingham Journal'' came into existence. Later Burbage became sole owner. On his death it was purchased by George Stretton. On Stretton's retirement in 1832 it was purchased by John Hicklin and Job Bradshaw. In 1841 it became Bradshaw's property.〔 William Howie Wylie, ''Old and New Nottingham''.

In 1887 it was incorporated in the ''Nottingham Daily Express'' which was renamed the ''Nottingham Journal'' in 1918. In 1953 the ''Guardian Journal'' was formed by a merger of the ''Nottingham Guardian'' and ''Nottingham Journal''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nottingham Journal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
