EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century photograph captures the ruins of the Old Powdermills in the picturesque Cherrybrook Valley, situated near Postbridge in Devonshire, England. The mills, which date back to an uncertain past, once played a significant role in the production of gunpowder for the British military. The image presents a serene and almost idyllic scene, with the tranquil waters of the River Dart meandering through the valley, surrounded by lush greenery and the remnants of the mill buildings. However, the history of this site is far from peaceful. The production of gunpowder, a volatile and dangerous substance, required a high level of expertise and precision. The mills were carefully designed to ensure the safe handling and storage of the explosive material. The 19th century was a time of great military expansion, and the demand for gunpowder was high. The Old Powdermills in Cherrybrook Valley were one of many sites across the country that met this demand. The mills were in operation for several centuries, but their heyday came to an end in the late 1800s when new, more efficient methods of producing gunpowder were developed. Today, the ruins of the Old Powdermills stand as a testament to the rich history of military production in Devonshire. The mills, though no longer in use, continue to fascinate visitors with their intriguing past and the stories they hold. The peaceful scene captured in this photograph belies the explosive history of this once bustling industrial site.
