The Clevedon Mercury was a broadsheet paid for newspaper delivered to homes in the North Somerset area of southwestern England.[1] It was founded in 1863 by 17-year old George James Caple to communicate national news and local happenings. The first issue was published on January 24. It became a tabloid newspaper in the mid eighties and a free publication sometime in the 1990s. The final issue was published in April 2012.
History
The first newspaper published in Clevedon was the Clevedon Courier, published on 5 May 1860 by Charles J. Dare from his home. The Clevedon Mercury was established in 1863 by Caple who then bought the rival Courier in 1864.[2] Caple continued to publish the Clevedon Mercury for the next 21 years. Caple sold the paper to its next owners in 1885.[2]
