From the twelfth century the area we live in was part of the Baronies of Herbertshire and Temple Denny.
In 1768 Lady Jean Stirling of Herbertshire sold the barony to William Morehead of Herbertshire.
William Morehead owner of the Herbertshire estate built a papermill in 1789, Excise 39, and leased it to a succession of tenants. Edward Collins of the Herbertshire Mill was sequestrated in 1795. In 1824 the mill was bought by Robert Weir a Glasgow stationer. He leased it to Andrew Duncan in 1834, who eventually bought it in 1860. He died in 1863 aged 53. The mill continued in his name until it was bought in 1906 by Carrongrove, who closed it down in 1908.
Andrew Duncan had Glencarron house built in 1860 and Robert Weir who also ran a printing business in Glasgow lived in Randolph hill
(Now Strathcarron Hospice)
Mr Weir went to North America his family have been in touch recently.
A neat paper products mill in the erm 'interesting' town of Leslie, the place is well protected by 'Heavy Breathing in the Valley*' and once in we spent half the time dodging workers stripping the remaining assets of the paper mill, ready to be shipped abroad most likely.
Film shots to follow!
*Heavy Breathing in the valley was fromt the night before, Speed & Myself arrived late one winters evening, looking for somewhere to bed down for the night, thoguht it worthwwhile checking the papermill out, so we sauntered down the workers path to be greeted with a large camera following us, the tannoy crackled into life (theres a tannoy attached to every camera in the place).
At almost concert loud'ness surely waking most of the village of leslie....
"Your on private property, yes you two, your on private property, can you please leave, yes, the other wya, turn around, back up that path please"
the tannoy crackled back off.
as we turned we just laughed that our complelty obvious approach of walking into a site had not worked (though it often does!).
The tannoy crackled back online, but there was no voice, only the sound of the operator breathing.
the breathing became louder, and deeper, and more frequent, and more excited...
it both hit us at the same time just what it sounded like, a lone security guard, suddenly awoken by two young fellas patrolling HIS site, it must hav ebeen exciting for him.
the breathing was so loud on the tannoys MOST of th village could surely hear, we were both in Hysterics, I mean so bad we could hardly walk up the muddy track without falling in it. Thank you Mr Sec Unit, you made our day :D
We slept overnight in a smaler abandoned mill then set out early in the morning via a slgihtly less obvious route, and had relative sucess :P

Pratensis of the meadows and it's growing very nicely in Papermill meadow at The Knapp & Papermill nature reserve.
Bitten-off root, so called because the legend goes that the Devil out of malice tried to stop it growing, because it was so useful as a medicinal herb that the root now bears the scars for eternity.

Papirfabrikken i Silkeborg blev grundlagt i 1844 af brødrene Christian og Michael Drewsen fra Strandmøllen nord for København. Familien Drewsen havde drevet papirfabrikken på Strandmøllen siden 1693. I 1830'erne blev familien gjort opmærksom på den rige vandmængde ved Silkeborg, og i 1844 fik de kongens tilladelse til at anlægge en papirfabrik på dette øde sted midt i Jylland. Lillebroderen Michael Drewsen blev den, der kom til at varetage det enorme og strabadserende arbejde med at fragte håndværkere og byggematerialer fra Aarhus og Randers via Gudenåen og dårlige veje til Silkeborg. Da den store fabriksbygning endelig var under tag ankom den store papirmaskine fra England. Den 1. januar 1845 tilvirkede fabrikken det første stykke papir, og fabrikken blev gang på gang udvidet, og var snart landets førende papirfabrik. Fabriksherren Michael Drewsen blev allerede i samtiden udråbt til byens grundlægger. Han grundlagde fabrikken, men byen blev grundlagt af politikere og bureaukrater i København. Men der er ingen tvivl om at Drewsens fabrik i den jyske ødemark satte skub i byens udvikling, og at byen så hurtigt fik gasværk, telegraf og jernbane, var først og fremmest Drewsens fortjeneste. Med større eller mindre rette har der siden 1892 stået en statue af Drewsen på byens torv
This property was located at 'Hurleytown"; A name that has stuck because of the fact that a man named Timothy Hurley operated a mill at that point. To-day it is South Side, and previous to the consolidation of Centralia and Grand Rapids it was called South Centralia.
This site on the river had falls that created some head and constituted an easily developed water power.
A. B. Sampson and Reuben C. Lyon built the first saw mill on this location in 1848, but did not complete their application to enter this land until August 16, 1853 when they completed the entry of Govt. Lots 1 and 2 Sec. 24-22-5.
In 1854 A. B. Sampson and wife Jane conveyed their interest to Reuben C. Lyon. In 1856, Lyon sold the property to Timothy Burley and Hugh Burnes. Evidently Burley and Burnes struck some tough financial weather for the property was sold by the sheriff to John Rablin in 1869. John Rablin added a pail and tub factory in 1871. He successfully operated all his mill properties until he had financial trouble and all his property was acquired by Landauer, Hopkins and Friend of Milwaukee, in 1879. They sold it to Henry Mann and in 1886 Mann sold it to the newly organized company "The Centralia Pulp & Water Power Co. "
The exact location of Herbertshire paper mill differs depending on who I speak to some points to remember I have been told that the route of corthy brae was changed to suit the mill the reason I say this is that I have lived in this area for about 30 years and the slope on the left is too steep for me to place. The hill top right looks familiar to this day october 2008
It is interesting that this picture is 1910 two years after the dismantling of Herbertshire paper Mill also I discussed these pictures with John Neilson October 2008 comments are more related to the link below.
Jock Neilson and myself discussed thes pictures and when the subject of Herbertshire mill came up and the possibilty it may have been in Carrongrove John said that it was said that number 2 machine was called the Herbertshire mill machine.
