EX-workers from the Wycombe Marsh Papermill reunited for the first time since the mill was shut 11 years ago.

Nearly 70 former employees from the firm met up at Wycombe Cricket Club, in London Road, High Wycombe, to roll back the years.

Organiser Colin White said many of his colleagues thought it was a good idea to reunite and catch up with one another.

He said: "I was amazed at some of the people who came. There is a man coming down from Fife, one coming up from Cornwall and a lady who worked at the mill between 1926 and 1936, she is now 92 years old".

The company, which was 220 strong in its heyday, shut down in 1994, heralding the demise of paper manufacturing in High Wycombe.

It produced various paper-related goods, including the record labels in the 1960s for EMI as it handled the success of the legendary Beatles.

Mr White said: "EMI came to us and said they wanted 10 tonnes of record labels by Monday. I checked if we could do this and came up with a compromise of five tonnes on Monday and five tonnes on Tuesday."

EMI accepted the offer and were so pleased with the mill's work that the record company struck up a 40-year partnership with the paper supplier.
