The Croydon Advertiser Series is Croydon's major paid-for weekly newspaper. It was founded in 1865 and its 1895 offices occupied an important position on Croydon's High Street. It recorded many important events in the town's history, including the development of the Salvation Army and the work of local son Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. It has been the largest circulation local weekly in the country.
