Next Talk is on 30th March 2026 - Bathford Parish Hall at 8:00pm."Bathford Mill serves the world. Interesting artefacts from down the hill" presented by Andy Nash, Managing Director, Portals - Bathford Mill was recorded in the Domesday book and has moved on from grinding corn
to become one of the few very high security paper manufacturers in the world. Today, its
full client list remains a closely guarded secret, but over the years it has produced many interesting watermarks and images that can be shown to the general public. In this talk, the speaker will explain some of the history of watermark design and manufacture,
demonstrate some of the secure features of a passport book and show examples of the
exotic watermarks that have been generated at Portals in recent decades. History will
unfold before our eyes! |
