Hayle Mill images

Kent Photo Archive now hosting Hayle Mill images

The Hayle Mill photographic archive is the best collection
illustrating papermaking in the United Kingdom and dates back to
1870.  Apart from a large collection of prints on paper, Simon
Barcham Green also owns a significant collection of 7x7 inch glass
plate negatives.  Some of these are wet collodion.  The detail on
them is very fine, despite their age but they are all a moment away
from a disastrous accident.

To both protect the image content against accidents and to enable
the images to be viewed through the internet, Kent Photo Archive

    <URL:http://www.kentphotoarchive.com>

is in the process of digitising the entire collection.  Roger
Smoothy scans and cleans the images electronically and Roy Moore
loads them on their website.  All of the glass plate negatives of
Hayle Mill are now on line and work will continue on the prints for
many months ahead.

All work is ongoing and new collections are added on a regular
basis.  The images are organised on the site in the collections from
which they have come and in many cases you can find images of, for
example, papermaking and papermills in unexpected places.
