Authentic looking newspapers needed

I'm looking for a way to reproduce authentic looking Englsh newspapers of the 1950's for "Look Back in Anger" at KADS. Does anyone have an idea where I might find some images of papers of the time and how to reproduce them realistically? The actors will be very close to the the audience so anything wrong will be glaringly obvious. Please let me know if you have some brilliant ideas !!

There is a company in Melbourne (I think!) who have copies of lots of old newspapers which you can buy and reprint for your own purposes (I believe so anyway). The information is a little hazy I know.

I'm currently working on "Shout!" on props, and we have some newspapers from the 50s. I have the details in my props bible which I will look up. If you are still interested I will find out.
