Description: | The gunpowder and explosives factory at Waltham Abbey in Essex was in operation from the 18th century and parts were still used as government offices until 1991. Simple barges were made from the trees in the forest and used to transport the explosives. Several of these barges are still visible. | Subjects: | Gunpowder Works Transport (Water) Military Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Silva, D | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
