The paper mills at fyansford | The Door Gallery Cafe

Paper Mill

The Mill started operations on 9 August 1878, 140 years ago. The rags (old clothing, tents, sails, etc) were delivered to the rag storage building (today referred to as the old WWII bomb (testing building) and from there were taken into the rag sorting room (now Russell Fibreglass Industries site 16). It was here that staff cut off all clasps, buttons, etc.

The chopped up rags were then dropped down into a revolving boiler and boiled to remove any remaining dirt or contamination. This also softened the clothes for the papermaking process. The product was then removed to the Breaker House where the rags were then bleached and pulped.into a consistency of the right requirement. When necessary some coloring was added.

The precinct consists of several art/craft/ cafe/ winery/businesses each operating independently within the buildings of the precinct.
