This group of photographs taken around 1922 shows many of the mill departments, how the mill operated after the raw material arrived to the finished product. It is also an important record showing some of the office departments, the high standard of working conditions. Just two years later on 22nd May 1924 a fire completely gutted the offices and stationery department at the mill.
