History

The newspaper was first published in 1858. It was originally published weekly but was later published more frequently, moving to biweekly and then triweekly editions.[1] From 1866 to 1876 it was published as the Newcastle Chronicle.[2]

The paper ceased publication in 1876, with the commencement of The Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners Advocate.[3] The Herald also replaced the Miners Advocate and Northumberland Recorder which had commenced publication in 1873.[4]

In November 1875, William Aubrey Burnage became a partner in the business. In January of the following year Hugh M'Dicken sold his share in the partnership to Burnage, leaving Burnage as sole proprietor.[5]
