Paper Making in Wells
« on: Thursday 06 July 17 14:31 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know of a papermaking mill in or near Wells in the 1930īs?

I have found a family who lived in Wookey Hole during the 1930īs; the father being a paper maker and would like to find out more if possible.

Hand made paper making using Victorian equipment is one of the museum attractions at Wookey Hole Caves.

Don't know if they still do it, but about ten years ago I took my grandsons to the paper mill at Wookey Hole and there was a demonstration of paper making and the boys were able to have a go.
