Default Unusual newspapers

I have just seen this posted on another sight and I hadnt heard of it so thought I would share

http://www.lastchancetoread.com/

This is what was wrote on there ;
the website of LastChanceToRead is a rather different site for Newspaper Collections in that it specialises in the more unusual or difficult to source British and Irish newspapers from about 1710-1900. Although it is generally a pay site, you can open an account for free and access certain publications or excerpts free too, though the general cost is £2 to £3 GBP per document or £1 GBP per page. Some newspapers may be downloaded free. You can find this site here: http://www.lastchancetoread.com/
Interestingly, the site has recently added the 1899 and 1900 editions of "The Police Gazette" to its collections, where you may find details of criminals, witnesses, court appearances etc. for those years. The picture below shows an 1831 issue of The Police Gazette -
