(this book) takes a comprehensive look at the industry in Denny
Book Description
The history of Carrongrove Mill in Denny is charted from its humble beginnings when it was virtually a one-man operation. The book documents the impact of the plant on the surrounding community as the industrial revolution dawned. It is brought up to date with news of what is currently produced at the modern paperboard plant.
The book includes:
the history of papermaking in Scotland;
the influence of German and French papermakers;
the great growth in demand for paper and paper board; a record of all early paper mills in Scotland;
an extensive and exclusive range of early prints on all aspects of papermaking.
The banks of the River Carron, near Denny in Stirlingshire, have seen production develop from the 1780s to a modern paperboard plant producing for the twenty-first century home market and for export worldwide.
The making of paper has run parallel to changes in the wider society and the papermakers of Carrongrove have adapted over the years in a competitive market. Rises in levels of literacy, the growth in trade requiring printed paper, wrapping and packaging and the explosion of their use for marketing and promotion - all have led to various demands for paper and board.
Now operating in the age of e-commerce, and with signs that global consumption of paper is set to increase, Inveresk Carrongrove will be producing for many years to come.
