Dr Andrew Hobbs used the diaries of Anthony Hewitson in his 2018 monograph, A Fleet Street in Every Town: The provincial press in England, 1855-1900 (Open Book, 2018), which won the 2019 Research Society for Victorian Periodicals book prize. He is a retired journalism lecturer and former newspaper journalist, and has written extensively on how local and regional newspapers and magazines of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries expressed a sense of place.
