Monument record TR 06 SW 1077 - The Early Incorporating Mills and the Engine House, Oare Gunpowder Works, Faversham
Summary
One of the Incorporating Mills may have been built c.1793. The Engine House and No. 2 Incorporating Mills buildings were built c.1840, or shortly thereafter. The original function of the buildings had ceased by 1926. A cess pit situated between the two Incorporating Mills post dates this, when the area seems to have become used for temporary accommodation. A WWII Royal Canadian Air force mug was found which may date this change.
