About Fencing in Sittingbourne
Sittingbourne in Kent has a paper making history stretching back to 1708, when Peter Archer was recorded as working in the town, and the industry grew enormously after publisher Edward Lloyd bought the mill site in 1863 and rebuilt it following a fire that same year, making it by 1912 the largest producer of newsprint in the world. The town's other major trade was brick making, with local firm Smeed Dean producing nearly 50 million bricks a year by 1880, and Kent's distinctive yellow stock bricks from Sittingbourne and the surrounding area went on to help build much of Victorian London.
