'Turnback Tuesday' features Wilkinson Papermill
Turnback Tuesday visits a neighboring business across the Housatonic River: “Wilkinson Papermill” or known in the trades as “Derby Mills.”
The mill was constructed in 1871 and sadly destroyed by fire in 1878.
William Wilkinson would not be deterred and rebuilt out of brick. He had the business up and running again in less than five months. They specialized in manila colored envelopes and hardware papers.
The building still stands today.
Thanks go to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing local history each week.
