The Sun creates 'Farewell to Wapping' souvenir issue as the office moves
"Will the last person to leave Wapping please turn out the lights,” reads the front page of the commemorative newspaper from The Sun, as the company moves to London Bridge alongside the rest of the News Corp employees.
The 16-page edition of The Sun has been created for staff at the newspaper, with the aim of sharing memories and anecdotes.
According to Roy Greenslade, who has seen the special edition, it includes an article from former chief sub Roger Wood about how he and his colleagues were attacked by pickets, as well as a look down memory lane to when The Sun left its Fleet Street offices to move to Wapping.
However, the newspaper also features lighter anecdotes, such as tales of former editor Kelvin MacKenzie.
