Dereham Times

The Times made its debut on February 7, 1880, starting as eight pages of closely printed text. It originated from the People's Weekly Journal, which had launched in 1864. Initially, the publication was released in two versions, referred to as the Dereham and Fakenham Times, along with the Fakenham and Dereham Times. Today, the tradition continues with two editions of the Dereham and Fakenham Times, now known as the Dereham Times and the Fakenham and Wells Times.
