East Cornwall Times

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The East Cornwall Times was a weekly local newspaper.[1][2] It was first published in 1859.[3] It covered the mid-East area of Cornwall, including Gunnislake and Drakewalls, Callington, Calstock and Kelly Bray. In 1877 it was incorporated into the Cornish & Devon Post.[3]

On 22 July 1865, the newspaper reported that the Trago Gunpowder mills in Cornwall had exploded.[4]

Successor

[edit]

It is now owned by the Tindle Newspaper Group, and published instead as an offshoot of the Tavistock Times.[5]
