THE internet version of the Bury Times group of newspapers is celebrating ten years on-line with a record-breaking readership.
Part of the Newsquest family of local newspaper websites, www.thisisbury.co.uk has contributed to provide the company with the largest audited figures of any UK regional publisher - 23,860,886 page impressions, or visits, for May this year.
The combination of news, sport and leisure information along with extensive classified jobs, homes and car sections in combination with fish4, the UK's biggest classified brand, has added an extra dimension to the print version.
The on-line version of the town's favourite newspaper has proved a big hit with readers all over the world anxious to keep in touch with our news and sport coverage since its launch on September 29, 1995.
