An Island Enclave Surrounded by Nature An island enclave in the heart of Surrey A unique collection of waterside apartments and townhouses 2 3 An island enclave surrounded by nature Cross over old Hipley Bridge and enter a different world: silent ponds, rippling brooks and gushing streams all punctuate these stretches of the River Wey water meadows. Swans glide effortlessly beneath cascading willow branches while ducks, coots and moorhens make their home among the reeds around the banks of the millpond, before the water rushes over the weir. Amid this unique setting of blissful tranquillity, a rare opportunity has emerged: behind the lovingly refurbished façade of the old Gresham print works, Linden Homes has created a stunning collection of 70 apartments and 18 townhouses, with views over water or beautifully landscaped gardens and exclusive access to the 7.4 acre estate. Photography taken at Gresham Mill. 4 5 An idyllic setting: rising above the waterline, the elegant profile of the old brick printing works is as unexpected as it is inspiring. Computer enhanced image of Gresham MIll, subject to change. 6 7 An illustrious history With water flowing through the weir at up to 40 miles per hour, it was inevitable that the site should be used for a watermill. First mentioned as far back as the Domesday Survey, a large mill is shown here on a tithe map of the 1840s and by 1894 the site was known as Woking Paper Works Ltd. In 1896, Unwin Brothers Ltd (The Gresham Press) arrived in leafy Surrey. Established in London by Jacob Unwin in 1826, this family-run printing company prospered during the 19th century. While Jacob died at the early age of 52, his sons George and Edward continued in their father’s footsteps, moving the firm to larger premises in 1871. After further significant growth, third generation George Soundy Unwin relocated to a new site where the facilities were purpose-built for the company: the Saint Martha Printing Works (now Gresham Mill). Pioneering electricity production using water turbines, and early adopters of iron presses and Monotype Compositors, Unwins thrived at Saint Martha’s, only leaving in 2007 due to a merger with another print works. After over a century of printing, bustling presses have finally stopped; now the tranquillity of the site can fully be appreciated. Images sourced from “The Printing Unwins” book by Philip Unwin. 8 9 Inspirational views: surrounded by a patchwork of open fields, scattered with ancient woodland and glittering wildlife-rich waterways, the long secluded driveway meanders towards Gresham Mill.
