Summary
| Description |
English: Chart gunpowder mill A modest little building surrounded by modern housing estates, Chart mill once played a major part in Faversham's gunpowder industry. The first nationalised industry in the country, gunpowder made here helped fight the Napoleonic wars.
It was first established around 1560 but came under the control of the Government about 200 years later. There were two water wheels powering four mills. The edge running wheels seen here incorporated the raw materials; charcoal, sulphur and saltpetre. |
