Steve investigates the Powdermills, Dartmoor. The Powder Mills Gunpowder Factory was established in 1844 by George Frean at a cost in the region of £12,000 and was fully operational by 1846. It remained in use until 1897, when it closed as a result of increasing competition from dynamite and a slump in local mining activity. Gunpowder at that time was being used for the mines (e.g Birch Tor and Vitifer), the quarries (e.g Swell tor, Foggintor and Merrivale) and also by farmers to clear rocks from their land. The production of gunpowder at that time was quite involved (and dangerous) and consisted of combining a mixture of saltpetre (75%), sulphur (15%) and charcoal (10%). The ruined buildings at the Powder Mills site tell the story in which the different stages of the process were carried out. The site is quite spread out and the distances between the buildings are indicative of the safety precautions taken at that time. There is a lovely story on the Legendary Dartmoor website which states: “During WWII the site (Powder Mills) was occupied by around 3,000 American troops who used it as a training camp prior to the D-Day landings. There is one story which suggests that some enterprising soldiers decided that the proving mortar may come in useful in the forthcoming engagements and stole it. Fortunately it was spotted at Plymouth docks about to be loaded onto a ship and was rescued and returned to the mills”. #dartmoor #history #paranomal #mine Music courtesy of Leva; Eternity.
