The mill originally produced corn before the site was bought by Henry Portal in 1718 and converted into a paper mill.[2] In 1923, the mill began printing bank-notes for Britain and the British Empire.[3] It is currently used for the manufacture of Bombay Sapphire gin who refurbished the site including a new glasshouse for the gin botanicals which was designed by Heatherwick Studio.[2][4]
