Taken in April 1982, this photo shows the former Croxley Paper Mills being demolished having closed in 1980. These mills were opened in 1830 by John Dickinson and used to provide paper with the Croxley watermark on it. Housing now occupies the land where the mills used to be. The Grand Union Canal can be seen in front of the mills to the left of the photo.
