Passfield Mill Business Park Here utilising the building erected in the 1850 for the former paper mill. The site was originally a forge known as Bramshott Hammer that operated between 1589 and 1689 before it was acquired by Henry Streater and converted into a paper mill. paper was made here from 1690 to 1924 after which the buildings fell into disuse and were partially destroyed by a fire in 1955 (Not the first time either, a disgruntled apprentice had torched the original buildings back in 1760). Later use included a warehouse for Sainsbury&#039;s and as a producer of plastics.

The road in view is the site of the former pond bay which probably disappeared when the pond was drained in the 1950s, see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7604712">SU8134 : Passfield Mill Business Park</a> for its current use.
