Lowestoft Journal

On Saturday, July 26, 1873, the inaugural edition of the Lowestoft Weekly Journal featured a message from Mr. A. Stebbings, written from his office on High Street. He announced that the owners of the People's Weekly Journal, which boasts a circulation in Lowestoft and its surrounding areas that surpasses all other local papers, have decided to rename their publication. Starting today, the weekly journal distributed in the region will be known as The Lowestoft Weekly Journal, aiming to highlight the significance and size of Lowestoft's community.
