The only known diaries of a Victorian Preston journalist, Anthony Hewitson (1836-1912), are available at Lancashire Archives. The first volume of the diaries was published last year, edited by Andrew, a historian of journalism at UCLan. The diaries, written between 1862 and 1912 tell us about Victorian fatherhood, family life, and the culture of Victorian Preston. Hewitson went from printer's apprentice to newspaper reporter and eventually editor of his own paper, whilst freelancing for the Times and Manchester Guardian. They are a lively account of the reporter's daily round, covering meetings and court cases, hunting for gossip or attending public executions and variety shows. Andrew will have the diaries for sale.
