Oare Gunpowder Works
Description
Along with brewing the other major industry in Faversham was Gunpowder production, up until the mid 1930's, when it was realised that having the gunpowder production down in the South East corner of the country may not be a good idea if there were another war, so all the works were moved to Ayrshire and the works abandoned. At the start of the 21st Century the abandoned works were tided up and turned into country park with signposted walks taking in the main parts of the site and the building ruins.
