Papermaking at Hayle Mill 1808-1987 for Sale

During my recent trip to Vermont I had the pleasure of getting to know Claire Van Vliet, proprietor of The Janus Press. I was much taken with the various books she showed me. One in particular won my heart, largely because it includes a map of Kent, on which Tunbridge Wells appears. My great great grandfather ran a successful construction company based in Tunbridge Wells which built many of the houses in the region during the latter part of the 19th Century, & early part of the 20th. On a whim, I bought ten copies, eight of which I plan to sell. Here’s a bit more information:
A map showing the twelve water powered mills that were on two and a half miles of the Loose Stream in 1865. The map is printed letterpress on Finale and opens out to three feet wide
A portfolio of twelve Barcham Green papers 7 x10 inches enclosed in an India Office paper wrapper
A portfolio of nineteen historic photographs from 1870 to 1977 of the mill and the processes of handpapermaking together with a diagram of the mill layout in 1978 all enclosed in a De Wint paper wrapper
