Abstract:
In the first half of 2006, a multi-disciplinary team of archaeological and architectural investigators, illustrators and photographers from English Heritage's Research Department undertook survey and investigation of the disused Gatebeck Low Gunpowder Works and associated workers' settlements of Endmoor and Gatebeck. Together with a more rapid survey of the adjoining Gatebeck High Works (in reality part of the same site) which took place immediately afterwards, the survey was the last in a Departmental project investigating the seven gunpowder works that operated in the historic counties of Westmorland and Lancashire North of the Sands (modern-day Cumbria) between 1768 and 1936. The study has resulted in not just a detailed understanding of the history, form and power-supply arrangements of the surviving industrial structures (four pairs of incorporating mills, a glazing house, two corning houses, a stove house plus ancillary buildings and associated features) but an in-depth appreciation of how the factory and settlements developed over time, and how these changes relate to the gunpowder industry regionally and nationally.
