Because of that being so convenient for me, I have not checked the catalogues of others, but I am sure there are some. I do know the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh has them, as does the British Library - open shevles in Humanities Reading Room 2, 2nd floor, at St Pancras, London... I bet there is a library somewhere in Manchester/Liverpool/Leeds, and probably it looks like form a quick check of their online catalogue, that the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth has a possible run from 1940-2005, but I'd double check that on the phone with them before heading off!
