Dover Arts Development (DAD) is proud to present “WATERMARK”, the 90-minute feature documentary about Buckland Paper Mill told through the stories of the men and women who worked there.
Also in the film is as yet unseen footage of a normal working day in the mill shot by the late Colin Pritchard and photographs collected in March 2010 at the story shop opened by DAD in Bench Street to record and collect stories and memorabilia about Buckland Paper Mill.
The film also makes use of photographs from the Dover Museum Collection.
The mill closed abruptly in 2000 after approximately 300 years of making paper.
Director, Marianne Kapfer, was present.
There was also a presentation of watermarks by former mill employee David Langley to Jon Iveson, curator of Dover Museum, for the Museum Collection.
Great to see you all!
