Powdermill Cut station at The Royal Gunpowder Mills
The Royal Gunpowder Mills consists of 170 acres and contains 19 listed buildings. It has been described as the most important site for the history of explosives in Europe. It dates from the Civil War and the last mill was demolished in 1956.

There remains a narrow-gauge railway which transported materials for gunpowder and cordite manufacture and it is now run for visitors to part of the site. This is the northern end of the line. A photograph of the accompanying information board can be seen at Link
