Guest compost Posted February 2, 2021 Question for Phil. Any idea why the British Library only has copies of the Star to 2009 ? I thought they got a copy of every British publication or has that requirement changed ? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you mean by 'the location has changed' ? Is that the place you send them to or the place they are available at ? I went to the new building by King's X station (can't remember its name). Nothing beyond 2009 was listed on their system though (well as far as I could work out). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will try for an exact address Would that be the Agency for the Legal Deposit Libraries, which is at 21 Marnin Way, Edinburgh, EH12 9GD? It moved to Edinburgh from Euston Street in London in 2009. Although it seems this is unrelated to the British Library archives. They just represent the 5 other deposit libraries in the UK...so maybe this isn't the right place.

Chadster 221 Posted February 4, 2021 Did they go to the Newspaper library at Colindale in North London? It's moved from there now, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted February 5, 2021 Hiya Phil I haven't received the star again this week, I sent an email about half one but not received a digital copy yet. Do I need to include renewal number or is just the postcode ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted February 8, 2021 SAD to report that Paul Parish, who was Editor of Speedway Star between 1963 and 1979, died last week. A tribute to Paul will appear in SS this and next week. He was a terrific colleague for many years and have very many happy memories of our time together.

Biffa 84 Posted February 8, 2021 I know this was mentioned earlier in this topic and is regarding postage covers. We get Commercial Motor delivered by RTM media and they have switched to white envelopes in recent weeks from the clear/ polythene covers. Result is that it has been delivered every Thursday since the envelope has changed. Before it was erratic from Thursday to Monday deliveries. Possibly could help Speedway Star, although I do understand it has an expense attached to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
