Gade Valley Revolution – Michael Stanyon

If you are interested in the Gade Valley area, maybe as a resident or as a former paper mill worker, or even as someone interested in local history, this is a talk for you.  If you thought Hemel Hempstead had no history, or you knew everything about the local paper industry, we guarantee you are wrong!

Michael talks about the enormous contribution the local area made to the world. Learn about what happened locally. A talk by the authority on paper mills in The Gade Valley, the creator of the Apsley Paper Trail Archive and brilliant speaker, Michael Stanyon. Since handing over the reins of the archive to our Collections Officer, Mike spends his time researching, speaking and writing works about the heritage of the area. He is an associate of The British Association of Paper Historians and has contributed to many publications, as well as authoring his own books. If anyone knows the history of the Gade Valley, Mike does!
