History
The first newspaper published in Clevedon was the Clevedon Courier, published on 5 May 1860 by Charles J. Dare from his home. The Clevedon Mercury was established in 1863 by Caple who then bought the rival Courier in 1864.[2] Caple continued to publish the Clevedon Mercury for the next 21 years. Caple sold the paper to its next owners in 1885.[2]
