The Beverley Times was a weekly English language newspaper published in the Wheatbelt town of Beverley, Western Australia, Australia between 1905 and 1977.
History
The Beverley Times first circulated on 22 July, 1905 and was published by the manager Henry Courtney at The Beverley Times Newspaper and General Printing Office on Vincent Street, Beverley, for the proprietor Chas Dawson, Newcastle.[1][2] The newspaper's creation was both a business venture and an effort to support the interests of the district of Beverley and provide residents with a forum for personal expression and discussion.[3] News reported in The Beverley Times focused on the district of Beverley and included articles on agriculture and farming, broader topical issues, housing reports, sporting events, obituaries, advertisements and classifieds.[4]
The newspaper was first published weekly on Saturdays until 28 February, 1925 then weekly on Friday until 26 March, 1970, then weekly on Thursday until 21 October, 1976 and fortnightly on Thursdays until 4 November, 1976.[5] The Beverley Times contained the Avon Valley News-Express supplement between September of 1962 and March of 1964[6].
The Beverley Times was last published on 11 August, 1977 after the publication was suspended due to "illness of the editor" [7] however, The Shire of Beverley attributes it's collapse to the inability of local businesses to compete with those in Perth as a result of improvements in transport and communication links.[8]
