From The British Newspaper Archive:
Introducing Free to View Pages on the British Newspaper Archive
Following the extension of our successful partnership with the British Library, we are delighted to announce that millions of pages will be made free to view on the British Newspaper Archive, with one million of these free to view pages made available today.
Working together over the past decade to provide the largest online collection of British newspapers, the British Newspaper Archive now hosts over 44 million pages in total, with a remit that extends beyond Britain and Ireland to cover, for example, Jamaica, India and New Zealand. Alongside regional weekly newspapers, and national dailies, sit specialist sporting, religious, political, cinema and fashion titles, all bringing history to life and telling stories from the past, which otherwise might have been lost forever.
You do need to register to view the pages but there is no charge for this. They also have a subscription service - one year is £6.67 /mo which pencils out to about $10/month. Not bad at all...
