| Scope & content | The waterways of the Royal Gunpowder Mills are a unique three level industrial canal system, originally extending to ten miles, with locks between the levels and a cut to the Lee Navigation. Smooth shock-free water enabled the safe transportation of materials between the process buildings as well as the finished product by sailing barge to the gunpowder magazines on the Thames. |
