Report - Robert Fletchers Paper Mill, Greenfield - Oct 23

[Bikin Glynn]

Tragic.

Is the social club still standing? I seen there was planning permission to convert it into apartments, got chatting to one of the neighbours after being inside and she didn’t have a clue if anything is happening.

I guess so as its a completely different area to main site

It was there last time i looked. Only place i saw any of the demo machinery was the main site.

Yep social club still standing, no floor though in the dance hall these days

Went to dovestones today and saw the mill. The entire main mill has been demolished with only the outer buildings remaining

Sad to see.. Look at the massive digesters scattered about!

The paper mill should never have closed. The only reason it did is because it was bought by a new owner who tried to move the machinery to China. The water in China wouldn't work for making the paper so the owner went bankrupt. Thats the reason why there used to be machinery in shipping containers

Was just about to say, they look very out of place compared to the rubble no?

Definitely heartbreaking to see all of it gone, think of all the machines and lovely little goods left, you think anyone got the typewriters or any of the nicer office equipment out?

I last visited Christmas Eve and I’m almost certain the typewriter that was in the boardroom was gone.

Hopefully it’s in better hands then, would be a shame for such a pretty little thing to get crushed in a skip

Im sure it would look nice once my blood was cleaned off after I managed to cut my hand on it trying to unjam it 😂😂😂
