The Papertrail
Exhibition Day 19: Several friends had told me about the history of the paper industry in Hemel. Did you know that the Paper Mill at Frogmore is the world's oldest mechanised paper mill and was the birthplace of paper's Industrial Revolution? It's still a working paper mill, with two of the original Fourdrinier paper making machines, and so I went to visit to find out more. One of the machines was running the day that I was there, so I was given prime view of the whole paper making process. It was fascinating to watch!
This photo is currently being exhibited in the cafe area of the Old Town Hall in Hemel Hempstead - open 10.30am - 5.30pm.
