Colin Bradley is a 79-year-old paperboy from Little Weighton in East Yorkshire who has no plans to slow down. A lifelong village resident, Colin began delivering newspapers a decade ago after filling in for two younger boys and quickly made the role his own, completing his six-day-a-week round at an impressive pace.
He previously worked as a farm laborer and lorry driver. Today, he enjoys the steady routine, meaningful work, and strong sense of community—even with early mornings, unpredictable weather, and fast-moving traffic through the village. Widowed and having lost his brother recently, Colin keeps busy not only with his paper round but also by tending local gardens, helping at a slimmers’ club, and staying active in village life. He says he’ll keep delivering papers for as long as he can walk, embodying a quiet determination and deep attachment to his home and neighbors.
