	Reliant Newspaper Articles 1935 - 1975


	The Tamworth Library has a collection of “Tamworth Heralds” dating back to its first issue in the late 1800’s. The newspaper therefore perfectly chronicals the history of Reliant through its weekly pages from 1935 onwards. These are just a few of the articles I found that most caught my eye dating from 1935 - 1975. This advertisement (right) is Reliant’s first advertisement to have appear in Tamworth and possibly the first one published World Wide. It appeared in the Tamworth Herald on Saturday 6th July 1935 and then again on Saturday 3rd August 1935.
