Iconic 50-year-old Yellow Pages to cease printing in UK

The iconic telephone directory - Yellow Pages - will publish its final print next year, more than fifty years after it was launched in 1966 in the UK.
Yell, the company that owns Yellow pages, announced that the first of the 104 final editions will be distributed in Kingston in the UK in January 2019.
A final directory will be sent out in Brighton, where it was first published in 1966. Yell has decided to go fully digital.
"Like many businesses, Yell has found that succeeding in digital demands constant change and innovation. We're well placed to continue to help local businesses and consumers be successful online, both now and in the future," said Richard Hanscott, chief executive of Yell.

"After 51 years in production Yellow Pages is a household name and we are proud to say that we still have customers who have been with us from the very first Yellow Pages edition in 1966," Hanscott was quoted as saying by 'BBC News'.
A household staple and handy doorstop for years, Yellow Pages was known for its advertisements.
