Daltons

 

Established during the late 1860s by Mr Herbert Dalton, Daltons Weekly was initially a single broad sheet listing 'Accommodation for Gentleman' in the then fashionable middle class suburbs around Vauxhall in South London.

 

The paper proved very successful but, sadly, within 2 years of starting the paper, Mr Dalton died, leaving it to his brother, a butcher in Westerham, Kent, with no interest in publishing. He sold the paper on to two brothers by the name of Hebert who paid the princely sum of £100 to buy it outright.

Daltons Weekly
 

For the next 102 years, Daltons Weekly remained a family business owned by the Heberts. During this period it grew and developed into it current format.

 

In June 1972 the paper was purchased by Morgan Grampian Ltd and streamlined to focus upon the three main market areas of Holidays, Property and Businesses.

 

In 1987 Morgan-Grampian was acquired by United Business Media, then known as United News and Media, first as part of the United Advertising Publications (UAP) division and later as part of the then CMP Information portfolio.

 

Daltons Weekly is published every Thursday and stocked in all WHSmith and Asda stores, as well as Tesco, Sainsbury’s and 18,000 independent outlets.
