These include the Queen’s visit in 2003, the Great Storm of 1987 and several major developments in the town centre.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to see pages from the centenary souvenir edition including a message of congratulation from the Queen.

A video will take viewers on a journey from very early copies of the paper through to the present day newsroom.

The County Times will be publishing a special souvenir edition in March to mark its 150th birthday.

If you have special memories of the paper which you would like to share with readers, email them for publication to [email protected].
