The Richmond and Twickenham Times is a weekly local newspaper that was established in 1873[2] and is published on Fridays. It covers the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in south-west London and surrounding areas.
History
The Richmond and Twickenham Times was established in 1873 by 26-year-old Edward King who ran the paper for 21 years until he was declared insane in 1894.[2] From 1896 it was owned by the Dimbleby family.[3] Richard Dimbleby was managing editor and editor-in-chief from 1946. After his death in 1965, his son David Dimbleby took over.[2] The paper was sold by the Dimblebys to Newsquest in 2001.[3]
In April 2003 when he retired, Malcolm Richards was the country's longest serving newspaper editor, having filled the role for 27 years.[4]
The Richmond and Twickenham Times went tabloid in January 2008.[5][6]
The newspaper was based at King Street, Richmond from 1873 to 2007 and in London Road, Twickenham from 2007.[7] The newspaper moved from its headquarters in Twickenham to Quadrant House in Sutton in May 2014 in a move to cut costs.
