Description:
Rare engraving of the Liverpool Paper Mill paper mill on the George’s River, Liverpool, New South Wales.
James Henry Atkinson had purchased the Collingwood Estate at Liverpool, New South Wales in 1853 and built a paper mill there soon after a rail line was established in 1856. He later subdivided the estate and in 1864 sold 20 acres of land to the Australian Paper Company Limited who then built a large paper mill. About 1868 their Collingwood Paper Mill commenced production. It was located on the banks of the Georges River, above the dam and a short distance from the Railway Station. This mill was renamed the Liverpool Paper Mill after a change of ownership to Messrs. Daniel Williams and George Murray in 1875. This mill continued until about 1905 with the buildings later being used as a woollen mill.
