Purfleet had five large magazine buildings used to store gunpowder and each could accommodate 10,400 barrels. As well as the five magazine buildings there was also a Blacksmiths shop, a guardroom, barracks and some labourers tenements. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
