    Nice exhibition on at the ex-indoor market site which opened today, depicting the history of Dover paper mill, (the entrance being via the old post office door which is easily missed and I`ve told them). A number of ex-mill employee`s were there today with photograph`s and items of interest which they`d kept from years gone by. I was also there today, the reason being, apart from working there for a time, from 1969 till the mid 80s, I took alot of cine film in there, which has obviously become of historic interest, and very sort after by the people making a film record of anything to do with the mill. I just managed to record the `old` machinery and original structure`s in there before it was all gone forever, and modernised from 1970 onward`s. Many of the employee`s shown are long dead, and I`ve stored these unique films away for nearly quarter of a century. Sentimental old fool I am, I also saved many work`s plate`s from scrapped machine`s, account`s book`s dating from pre-WW1, all unceremoniously being thrown out, accident`book`s over 50 years old, and much more. Been a long wait, but hoped one day it would all be recognised for the historic value.
