    Hi,

    Havn’t been on this forum for quite a while but just wanted to say “thanks” for pointing me in the right direction of getting the information that I was looking for. I have indeed become a member of the Essex Library Service and I have been able to access the Times Archive. It is so much quicker than the actual Times Digital Archive that I used to subscribe to and you can get information right up to 2014 as opposed to
    1985 with The Times. Bonus was its ‘free’ instead of having to pay £26 for the privelge with The Times so once again thank you :good:

    I joined my local library today and tried to access the ‘Virtual Library’ but apparently they have removed newspaper resources from the ‘Virtual Library’….typical :negative: …so will have to pay a subscription to The Times themselves..not impressed !!

    Oh I see I thought you had to purchase a subscription through The Times which £1 a month for first 3 months for a digital subscription. So is their subscription the same as the ‘Free Service’ given by local libraries ?

    Hi,

    Thank you so much for this invaluable information as I have been trying really hard to remember when I went. Yes, I was 10 at the time and the only Epsom card I have is the 1964 Santa Claus Derby. I thought my Dad took me to a Derby meeting but I thought it was the Charlottown Derby. With regards to The Times Archive is it expensive to subscribe.
    Thanks again for your help and hope to speak to you again
