The paper mill is still in full use, but they have a little museum hidden away right at the back of the paper shop.
I had no idea this even existed until I went up to buy some Drawing paper the other week.

I could have spent hours here, there is hundreds of old black and white photos, old documents, manuscripts, parts of machines, its great!

You are free to look through them all, infact loads are just piled up in a corner.
If you are in the area, I would totally recommend going in for a wee look :smclap

OK this was super cool, its Rolls Royce and it embosses the paper with the logo! There was a Burberry one too!!
