"The Citizen began life on April 9 1722 as the Gloucester Journal, making it the second oldest continuously published newspaper in the world." http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/localnewspaperweek/Serving-hundreds-yearsarticle-980534-details/article.html . "The Citizen first appeared on the streets of Gloucester on May 1, 1876 - a four-page newspaper costing one half-penny ... The first edition was printed in St John's Hall on the site of the present Marks & Spencer's. Later, an old beer house with a brewhouse was acquired on the other side of the lane and the two premises were linked by a foot-bridge" http://www.livinggloucester.co.uk/made/newspapers/the_citizen/ In 1988 the printing "transferred to a new plant at Staverton Technology Park". "The Citizen moved to the Oxebode in 2006". But the building still carries the words "Journals and Citizen Office".
