The Village
Whitebrook is a small community situation on the Welsh side of the River Wye in Monmouthshire.
The village in the past was famous for it’s paper mills. These mills produced high quality paper not only for ‘normal’ use but also for wall paper production and for bank notes.
The industries declined and the mill buildings fell into disrepair. However the majority of the house seem to have survived and now are homes to a wide ranging and varied population.
The village has approximately forty houses, two public telephone boxes, a closed down public house (now a private dwelling), a closed down Church, a well used village hall spread over the two and a half miles that the valley meanders up from the banks of the river Wye to the top of the hill some 750 feet above sea level at a point some 3.5 miles south west of Monmouth.
