The Pulmans Weekly News and Advertiser series were founded in England in 1857 by Axminster born George Pulman. (His name is often mistakenly confused with the American railroad pioneer.) The Pulmans series are important records of a prolific Victorian era press group that went on to span multiple decades and bridge three consecutive centuries. Over the years the Pulmans titles expanded across East Devon, West Dorset and South Somerset and were published by a succession of newspaper owners. In 2012 the papers morphed into the Pulmans View From series, covering predominantly the same areas as before and, in keeping with the times, developed an online presence. In 2018, following a decade of repeat financial problems, administrations and closures, the titles were bought out through a crowdfunding initiative. Pulmans Award We are very pleased to announce the launch of the new Pulmans Award, a prize and trophy* given to West Country individuals, or groups, who encourage the spirit of good communication, educational endeavour or community service that our founder, George P. R. Pulman embodied. Duncan Williams, Regional Director, Pulmans Weekly News Group Ltd.
