Chalk extraction had occurred to the east of the Abbey by the late nineteenth century , although it was not until the next century (c.1930s) when the Ingress Abbey Paper Mill (latterly the Empire Paper Mills producing wallpaper) were built riverside and to the north-east. The Abbey, built in 1832-3 to a Tudor-Gothic style, has been reused as the Thames Nautical Training College and latterly a Merchant Navy College.
