Hinckley Times

The Hinckley Times is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in the town of Hinckley and neighbouring parts of South West Leicestershire, including nearby Market Bosworth.

It was established in January 1889 as the Hinckley Times and Bosworth Herald and was originally published in two editions, on Friday and Saturday. and celebrates its 120th anniversary in 2009. It absorbed a local rival, the Hinckley Guardian and South Leicestershire Advertiser, in the early years of the Second World War.

It switched to tabloid format from broadsheet in 1984 and adopted computerised typesetting three years later.

It’s published by Coventry Newspapers, a division of nationwide newspaper publishers Trinity Mirror. Its editorial offices are in Hinckley.

There’s a sister weekly freesheet, the Hinckley Herald & Journal.

It comes out on Thursdays.
