Historian and author Lynne Mayers describes the Kennal Vale Paper Mill, and poses the question whether it was the most successful mill in Cornwall
The picturesque and deeply wooded Kennal Vale near Penryn in Cornwall is now a nature reserve, but was once a hive of industrial activity. In the nineteenth century it was the location of gunpowder mills, a foundry, flour mill and a paper mill. Lynne Mayers reassesses the significance of the paper mill, and asks was it the most successful such mill in Cornwall?
