Frogmore Mill - Apsley - The birthplace

This, still working, Victorian paper mill is on the site where the Fourdrinier brothers developed the first continuous running paper machine. The Gade Valley in Hertfordshire was home to several paper mills, mostly owned by Dickinsons. This is the last mill to survive.
