Geography
[ edit ]
The River Bela flows past the village and through the deer park of Dallam Tower , skirting Milnthorpe before it washes out into the Kent Estuary near Sandside.
Half a mile to the south-east, Beetham Hall is a 14th-century fortified manor house, now largely ruined, adjoining later buildings.[5] It is a grade II* listed building ,[6] with a separately II* listed curtain wall [7] and a grade II barn ,[8] and is now occupied by a firm of funeral directors .[9]
To the north of the village is the paper factory employing 140 people and producing 45,000 tonnes/year, specialising in kraft paper for pharmaceutical and food packaging.[10] In 2021 it was acquired by Inspirit Capital from BillerudKorsnäs and renamed Pelta Medical Papers , the word Pelta deriving from the Greek word for a light-weight shield carried by a peltast .[11] [12] There has been a paper mill on the site since 1788, and in 1964 it was the UK's largest producer of kraft paper.[13] Records at Companies House show the previous company names as J & J. Makin (1901–1990), (J.) Bibby Paper (1990–1997), Barlow Paper (1997–1999), Henry Cooke (1999–2004), and Billerud/BillerudKorsnäs (2004–2021.[14]
