Blotting House

Members of the society enjoyed a walk around Chithurst , just over a week ago, despite it being a slightly wet day , but warm it was enjoyed by all, on our visit to Iping we came across the name on a house called Blotting House., Plus another called the Mill house, and yes the mill did make blotting paper. According to Stidder and Smith -
Watermills of Sussex, in the late 19th century white and colored blotting
paper was made on a single 60 inch machine. It looks as if blotting paper
was made there until the mills were destroyed by fire in 1925.more information click here

Thought this may be of interest.
