THE JOURNAL'S ever-expanding Internet coverage has taken another step forward.

The archive facility of stories downloaded since we launched www.thisisleigh.co.uk in 1995 has been reactivated.

A simple-to-use search facility allows immediate access to the full story content from our files.

Another popular section is the continually updated What's On guide with details of almost every event of note in the region, plus hundreds of telephone numbers from theatres to amusement parks, pubs and clubs.

Communigate gives local organisations the opportunity to create their own website - FREE!

And all the other features you would expect from the region's premier website are available 24 hours a day.

Looking for a job? Moving house? Changing your car? Our database contains thousands of jobs, homes and cars.

And there is a special education site which provides schools with an excellent extra information source.

Lost touch with a loved one? Track them down on our on-line message board. Fancy a holiday? We have hundreds of destinations to choose from.
