Center of photo shows Badger Mill, built in 1884. It produced 8 tons per day of rag newsprint.
Behind it is Reliance Mill, built of stone in 1868 by J. R. Kimberly as a flour mill. In 1877, J. R. sold it to his son, J. A. Kimberly.
Even farther back is the Globe Mill. It had a 72-inch paper machine and produced two tons per day of all-rag newsprint. It was built in 1872.
On far right is Kimberly & Clark finishing rooms. Commercial St. runs between it and the Badger Mill.
Crossing the bridge is Mr. J. A. Kimberly in a bobsled, coming to work.

After dipping the mould into a vat of pulp and shaking off the excess water, papermaker Neil Hopkins of Two Rivers papermill in Exmoor, Somerset lays each soaking sheet of new paper on a flat bed ready to be squeezed in a press before being hung out to dry. This part of the process is called 'couching'.
This image is part of my "Working Lives, Lost Skills" project through which I am recording the work of some of the last known exponents of traditional rural crafts and industries. I hope to eventually use some of the images to develop an exhibition and possibly a book.
This salvage work taking place after a serious fire is where the twinwire was built in later years. This is an interesting picture that has so much detail the more you look at it. From left to right the grass sheds and middle the building that housed the hydrapulper both still there 2008.
I dont recognise the building on the right and would be grateful for help re this please also note two chimneys and more important railway trucks right in the mill on the right and no coating factory.
