paper mill

This mill was built in the early 1800's next to the Lete river below the beautiful medieval village of Prata Sannita. It was likely built by the Procascciante family who owned several mills in this area and would have employed around 30 workers. The water driven mill continued operating using...

Evening All, Living local to Canterbury I came across the old Arjowiggins paper mill in Canterbury. I assumed this site was active however it appears to be completely vacant having shut in 2022. From what I could see the site had what I assume is security at the Gatehouse and a bunch of...

I hate doing this but as it’s quite trek away and out in the sticks I don’t fancy a failed drive, but does anyone know if anything’s left of the Springside Paper Mill complex in Belmont? I had it marked a while and would love to visit if it’s still standing

The paper mill was established in the 1960s. It is situated in a picturesque mountainous area, not far from the monumental Mount Fuji. For years, several dozen workers produced various types of paper here. The mill likely ceased operations in the first decade of the 21st century. Since then, it...

This is somewhere I had been meaning to go to for a long time, for at least a year since I was made aware there was a potential power plant left over at the old paper mill site, but for one reason or another it never happened and got pushed back into the 'we'll do it some day probably' pile as...

Hit this after hitting another nearby location, fully expecting to find very little considering it should have been houses ages ago. The History Early Beginnings A flour mill was first established near the Washford River in the 15th century by the Fulford and Hadley families. In 1587 Sir John...

Me and my usual buddies recently went on a trip to Italy - our one big annual summer trip that we try to do together. We usually go west, but the wells have dried up a bit over there (not empty by any means, but mostly things you would want to do at night and on a weekend), so we decided to let...

Compton Paper Mill Established in the late 17th century, it became a leading mill in the 19th century. It was known for its innovative paper drying process and was a key supplier to newspapers in London and the provinces. Thomas Bonsor Crompton's inventions and business acumen are closely...

Taken my time getting this written up, but thought I'd post my take on this old classic as it's now been partially demolished. As soon as I heard they were finally tearing it down, I dragged my arse up north as I've never gotten around to doing it. We were pretty thorough, but with the sheer...

Anyone know the future or current state of Robert fletcher mill near dovestone resovioir? Heard it was getting demolished but heard nothing since. Thanks.

Introduction Myself, @KPUrban_ and @Wastelandr met up several weeks back to cover a few places around Cambridgeshire, the primary motive of the trip was to visit Mullard’s Observatory but we also spent a few hours at this old mill site. I mentioned it to KP as I found it on OS Maps a while back...

Fletcher, a prominent paper merchant who began trading in the early 19th century. A mill has been located here since 1823x`, but the modern mill opened in...

Introduction The previous challenges of climbing and high security made it seem unlikely for me to ever see Fletcher’s. Fortunately, towards the end of last year, there was a period where security appeared to ease up a bit. Me and @JakeV50 decided to take advantage of this and finally give it a...

I Know this place has been done to death, but here's my take (well what I manged to see) on the place. THE HISTORY Robert Fletcher and its mill is located in the valleys of east Oldham, the origins of which can be traced all the way back to the Industrial Revolution. It was first owned by the...
