PAPERmaking! FROM THE PUBLISHERS OF PAPER TECHNOLOGY Volume 6, Number 2, 2020
The museum was opened on 24 April 1963 by G.B. Johnston, chairman of the BPBMA. 49 By 1966 work was still being undertaken to catalogue the museum library, which was still not open to the public; but the museum itself was receiving visitors, and a new exhibit was noted to be an 8mm film of hand-making at Hayle Mill. 50 But the situation changed in 1967 with the sale of the mill site, and the emergency removal of exhibits during December of that year was noted, along with the search for a new site. 51 By the turn of the new decade it was noted that the exhibits had been received at the Manchester Industrial Museum, which was hoped would be a temporary home before a new permanent site could be identified. 52 (In fact, this is still the home of the exhibits today; no new site could be found – DCC).
