Frogmore Mill
The Apsley Paper Trail is an excellent heritage attraction and has landed a major lottery grant to build a new visitor centre here. The staff are friendly, helpful and informative. I commend this to anybody interested in industrial heritage, paper, steam power or all of the above.

Apsley top lock 65
One of three locks at Apsley, and also where the towpath changes sides via the whitewashed (and graffitied) brick bridge below the lock. This has always been an industrial area and it seems that the factory on the left is still in use, although probably not producing what it was built for.

Steam engine, Frogmore Mills
This drives part of a Fourdrinier paper machine and is fitted with a variable speed control. It was built by Ashworth & Parker of Bury and is typical of their engines. Many were supplied for paper mill drives. This engine remains in use. Plans were afoot to replace it with an electric motor to save costs but it was pointed out that as the engine's exhaust is used in the drying rollers anyway and steam must be raised on site, the engine's power is largely a bonus. I hope that it remains in use for many more years.

Fourdrinier paper machine, Frogmore Mills
This is a very historic site and was apparently where this machine (not this particular one) was first used in the UK in 1803. This more modern machine is operated by a charitable trust and is still in use. It is of great interest as it is driven by a steam engine - one of very, very few still in commercial service in the UK.
