Richard W. Penfold
"Lady of the Lea" Explosives Barge
For over three centuries, explosives barges carried their awesome cargo from the Mills at Waltham Abbey to the Woolwich Arsenal and the Government Magazines at Purfleet, via the river Lea and Thames. Road traffic across the bridges of the Lea was usually suspended as the barge passed beneath, for fear of embers (from steam driven vehicles) and other discarded means of ignition dropping onto the deck of the passing barge. Smaller craft, depicted in the illustration, were used to transport explosives materials between the various process buildings on the Royal Gunpowder Mills site, along an intricate network of narrow canals.

Gunpowder Press House (c.1880)
The waterwheel in this instance created hydraulic pressure to operate the Press housed in the wooden building to the left. The operator could control the potentially dangerous Gunpowder Press remotely from the Pump-house on the right, where he was protected from harm by the central traverse (blast wall).
