Abandoned Paper Mill Abandoned Places UK

Описание: In 1921 the paper mill opened. The mill specialised in the production of cigarette paper and at its height employed over a 1000 people to run seven paper machines. These machines produced only a fraction of the paper the later, much larger machines could produce. Upon closure the mill had three machines – two very similar lines from 1930s and a huge modern 1996 addition.

By 1986 the company was making a loss and was purchased by the Melton Medes Conglomerate who turned the company around and started to make a profit once again. However by 2001 the company was once again failing but this time the company could not sustain the increasing loses and was forced into receivership. The mill was closed down overnight.
