Gravesend Reporter works
« Reply #1 on: September 06, 2011, 16:56:08 »
I worked on the Gravesend Reporter from 1963/66 and I was looking on google earth the other day and looked at Harmer Street and the rear access to the old works. The original works seems still to be there. Can any one tell me if the old machines are still in place.  The property still look's as it was in 1966 when I left. The old reporter press was from the Daily Telegraph and the new press was put in around 1965/6 in to the newer building. The far left of the building at the back was the oldest with very old Victorian printing presses. 
Also when did the printing of the paper stop at the Harmer St. Address.
