A large-scale gun cotton plant was opened at this site in 1873 and produced a wide range of products such as distress signals, gelignite and dynamite. Other explosives industries moved in, including one making shell charges using TNT. The site was of particular strategic importance in World War One although two serious explosions occurred in 1916 and 1918. The plants went out of use in 1919, finally shutting down in 1934, leaving earthworks, concrete bases and derelict wharves
