Try contacting Lincoln Reference Library, they have a vast collection of Lincolnshire newspapers on film and can search for an article and supply a copy of articles very cheaply. (Far less than the archives would charge)

You have the name of the paper and a date so they could in theory go straight to the articles if they have them.

The Paper was based opposite the Peacock Pub in Spalding in a cottage next to Motor world and owned by Clearpint Printers from Sleaford
I believe it was sold to Live Promotions at a later date The original owner lives opposite Fulney Bridge in Spalding
