  Evening All,
  
  I was just wondering if anyone had any good historical snaps of what River Papermill used to look like? I visit the area quite frequently walking past the ruins but to date haven't found any decent pictures on the net.
  
  Thanks

  Hi Paul,
  
  No the ruins within kearsney Abbey grounds if you enter via the minnis road entrance. They were once a paper mill, but really can't find any decent photos of what it used to look like. There's a couple on the web, but nothing that really gives you any indication of the building.
  
  Chris
