Abstract:		 In February 2012 Archaeological Solutions conducted a programme of historic building recording at the former Thames Board Mills, Purfleet, Essex. (NGR TQ 5585 7781). The work was commissioned by British Gypsum and was undertaken prior to the demolition of the remaining industrial buildings on the site. The Thames Board Mills originated in around 1887 when Louis Cartiaux formed the St. Louis Park Mills Co on the southern, Thames side of the railway line. In 1902, an American, W. J. Alford took over the site, forming the Thames Paper Mill Company Ltd (TBM). From 1924 the mill expanded and a new converting factory was constructed to the north (Building 10). By 1939 many more buildings had been added, and in the early 1960s a major expansion resulted in the construction of the north mill (Building 4). In 1965 TBM became part of the Unilever Group, but by 1975 the company was in decline and South Mill closed, with many of the buildings being demolished in the following years. In 1986 Unilever sold TBM to Davidson Ltd. who renamed it Purfleet Board Mill. In 2004 production on the site ceased.
