I used to work in the building to the right of the White House which was the paper mills Lab. on the top floor, we also had a small store on the top floor of the White House. I used to collect samples around the mill paper and chemicals to test,also pulp samples off the ships before they were unloaded. There were 4 of us working there.in 1956. Martin.

In the mid 50’s I worked for the M.D. of Imperial P.M. in New Bridge St., London. We had a chair no-one ever sat in, that had been Lord Northcliffe’s. One of the main newsprint sources was the region behind Clarke City, Canada, on the St.Lawrence. I worked for the Managing Director of Imperial, and spent one whole day being shown around the works at Gravesend. Amazing place – so many really skilled workers. The noise of the rollers. Have never forgotten it. In my time at Imperial I learned quite a lot about papermaking and woodpulp.
