The Sunday Mirror Supplements

A colour magazine was first provided with the Sunday Mirror on 19th June 1988. It was called “The Sunday Mirror Magazine” and contained features, interviews, recipes, fashion, beauty advice and a cartoon and puzzles page. “The Sunday Mirror Magazine” was replaced by “Personal” magazine on 8th September 1996, with a greater emphasis on health and relationships. The television listings section of the newspaper was merged into the “Personal” supplement on 4th January 1998.

A second magazine was added to the Sunday Mirror on 11th January 2004 with the launch of “Homes and Holidays”. This magazine contained travel and property features and replaced an earlier newspaper supplement called “Holidays”.

In addition to the “Celebs on Sunday” and “Homes and Holiday” magazines, the Sunday Mirror currently includes a football newspaper supplement called “Premplus”. This sports section is published every week during the football season.

insights from our archivist

These aren’t replicas. They’re the actual newspapers that sat on newsstands up to 125 years ago. The one you buy could be the last copy in existence.

Prices can vary for several reasons, like popularity of a specific day, whether the paper is local or national, the paper’s age, and the number of copies left.

Missing papers give us a window into history. If a paper isn’t available for the date you’re after, it could be because that newspaper was on strike during the period.

FLYING OFF THE NEWSSTANDS

Bestsellers leave public ‘clamouring for copies’, reports suggest.
