Lockwood line lingers - just

摘要

But the Lockwood line is drawing to a close. Kim Lockwood, aged 62, one of the last of the line, told the story in the October issue of the Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter, which I edit. The Lockwood line started in 1880, when Alfred Wright Lockwood left school at 13 for an apprenticeship with the Lancefield Mercury in Victoria. The line is coming to an end now with the retirement on September 8 this year of one of his grandsons, Kim Lockwood, of the Herald and Weekly Times.
