Welcome to The Paper Trail
The Paper Trail project is industrial 'exploration' centre built around an historic, fully working paper mill. It offers public access into the heart of a real working environment and is complemented by an active business & industrial enterprise hub.
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) is helping secure the future of Frogmore Mill. HLF has earmarked* £1 million for a major restoration programme, and awarded development funding of £28,000 to help work up final plans for the scheme, which will preserve and open up the mill for future generations. More about the grant....
Located in Hemel Hempstead at Frogmore Mill and Apsley Mill - the birthplace of paper's industrial revolution - the project allows visitors to learn about and experience:
-
the past of an industry that helped shape the modern world
-
the present of commercial recycled papermaking (on a Victorian, steam driven machine)
-
the future of one of the world's few inherently sustainable industries - paper.

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 has been making paper for over 200 years – ever since it became the world’s first commercial mechanised paper mill in 1803 – and today still produces speciality papers for commercial customers and the public.
Group tours can now be arranged by appointment or on specified open days.
