Join us for an engaging talk with Dr. Maureen Green about the history of paper-making in Maidstone. As part of our Events Programme, linked to the new Oldham Gallery: Past & Present local history gallery, we’ll delve deeper into Maidstone’s significant role as a global paper-making hub.
Green is an academic specialising in Hayle Mill’s history, with her PhD titled ‘Hayle Mill: How a Small Papermaking Company Thrived in the Nineteenth Century Using Traditional Techniques which Were Being Superseded by New Technology in the Mainstream Paper Industry’. In 2013 the thesis was awarded the Hasted Prize by the Kent Archaeological Society for the best postgraduate thesis on the history of Kent in the previous two years. Included in the talk is a brief demonstration on paper-making.
There are just 40 places for this talk – book now to avoid being missing out.
Suitable for 12+
Welcome drink provided – you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks in lidded containers.
