History: http://www.faversham.org/business/Visitor_Attractions/oare-gunpowder-works.aspx
Founded in about 1690 by Huguenot refugees who were encouraged to settle in Faversham because French gunpowder production technology in the 17th-century was more advanced than English, the Oare Works (originally
known as Davington Mills) slowly expanded, and was progressively modernised, throughout its working life.
