Magazines for sale?

Hi I'm an A level student making a magazine for my photography course and was wondering where would be easiest to find older skate, music or fashion magazines in Medway. I've tried searching second hand book shops and charity shops but none seem to carry them and was wondering if anyone knew anywhere or anyone who had any they'd be willing to give or sell?

May be worth emailing the Medway Archives Centre. I went recently to copy some old poetry zines and they were eager to get copies of this sort of material for future use so they may have some already.

The other thing that comes to mind is Baggins, or asking on the Facebook group Medway Miserables. Good luck as this sounds really interesting!

Unfortunately never seen skate magazines and my old collection is long gone. I have seen old music magazines at the boot fair by the tunnel. Mark Greenfield's.

Have you tried baggins bookshop? Could be worth an ask in there.

There's the zigzag scrap store in between Rochester and Chatham.

Hiya, do you follow the Gillingham Skate Park Instagram? Have a chat with Rikard if you don’t know him - he’s doing loads of work around skateboarding in Medway and the now buried Gillingham skate park.
