Laverstoke Mill
From Wikishire
Laverstoke Mill is a former paper mill on the River Test near Laverstoke in Hampshire.
The mill complex contains three grade II listed buildings: the Mill House, Mill Cottages, and the Glazing House.[1]
The mill originally produced corn before the site was bought by Henry Portal in 1718 and converted into a paper mill.[2] In 1923, the mill began printing bank-notes for Britain and the British Empire.[3]
The mill is currently used as a distillery, in a conversion designed by Heatherwick Studio[2] for the manufacture of Bombay Sapphire gin.[4]
