It was listed on the [[London Stock Exchange]] until it was acquired by [[Informa]] in October 2024. ==History== [[Richard Winfrey]] purchased the ''Spalding Guardian'' in 1887 and later purchased the ''[[Lynn News]]'' and the ''[[Peterborough Evening Telegraph|Peterborough Advertiser]]''; he also started the ''North Cambs Echo''. He became a [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal]] politician and campaigner for agricultural rights and the papers were used to promote his political views in and around [[Spalding, Lincolnshire|Spalding]], [[Boston, Lincolnshire|Boston]], [[Sleaford]] and [[Peterborough]]. During World War II Winfrey's newspaper interests began to be passed over to his son, Richard Pattinson Winfrey (1902–1985). In 1947, under the direction of 'Pat' Winfrey, the family's newspaper titles were consolidated to form the East Midland Allied Press (EMAP): this was achieved by the merger of the [[Northamptonshire]] Printing and Publishing Company, the Peterborough Advertiser Company, the [[King's Lynn and West Norfolk|West Norfolk and King's Lynn]] Newspaper Company and commercial printing sections at [[Rushden]], [[King's Lynn]] and [[Bury St Edmunds]].<ref name=history>{{cite web|url=http://www.emap.com/Site-search-item.asp?ContentId=2372 |publisher=EMAP |title=History |access-date=11 June 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060617215154/http://www.emap.com/Site-search-item.asp?ContentId=2372 |archive-date=17 June 2006 }}</ref> The magazine division was founded on a hunch when the company's printing presses lay dormant between printing issues of the local papers. The staff gambled that a weekly angling publication would be a hit; in 1953, ''[[Angling Times]]'' was born. This was soon joined by another weekly heavyweight when EMAP bought ''[[Motor Cycle News]]'' from its founder in 1956 for £100.<ref name=history/> EMAP grew significantly in the late 1970s under the guidance of the extremely successful partnership of Sir Robin Miller and [[David Arculus]].<ref>{{cite
