On the first day, after Mr Toomey dropped us off in Faversham, we made our way to see the first gunpowder mill in England. This gunpowder mill was next to a stream, where the stream could be used to import and export charcoal, one of the three major ingredients for gunpowder. The stream fed into a tidal Creek where sulphur, another key ingredient, could be imported.
