Press Minding - All the news that’s fit for print

A history worth recording

Norwich - home of Jarrold's - has added a raft of new presses to its print museum, some apparently dating back beyond the 1950s (given the lifespan of a press, it strikes me that that's barely a handful of press generations). The Lord Mayor of Norwich unveiled the new additions at a ceremony at the printer, which has been operating since Napoleonic times.

 

It struck me that for such a venerable and noble industry, there isn't enough celebration of its history, particularly one that's still romping along, bringing home £15bn a year.

What can little ol' printweek.com do? How about if you send us some photos of the more distinguished printing equipment and a little description of what and where it is, we put them online in a new photo gallery dedicated to vintage kit?

Send your pics to us at editorial@printweek.com and we'll see what we can do.
