We are not open this Sunday 5th July! - call for our next Sunday open day

It offers public access into the heart of what was a real working environment and is complemented by an active business & industrial enterprise hub.

  • the present of commercial recycled papermaking 
  • the future of one of the world's few inherently sustainable industries - paper.

SCHOOLS Recycling 

Frogmore Mill has specialised in recycled papermaking for over 110 years. Recycle for learning is our latest sustainability project - providing schools with new paper from their old waste paper, that we collect from them.More about Recycle for Learning.... 

Frogmore Mill had been making paper for over 200 years – ever since it became the world’s first commercial mechanised paper mill in 1803.
