New Thames Paper Mill (left) was opened as Kemsley Paper Mill by Edward Lloyd in 1925 and was at the time one of the biggest newsprint plants in Europe. Its current owners, D S Smith plc, produce heavy packaging materials there. The mill was once served by an extensive industrial railway part of which still survives as a Heritage facility. The chimneys (right) are part of the Grovehurst Energy Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plant which provides the mill with steam and electricity from solid industrial and municipal waste.
