The Robrite works at Gathurst has been producing explosives since 1888, once
owned by ICI explosives division it was sold to Austrailian company Orica who are now
running the site down with a plan to sell the land for houses.
Theres some interesting bits & bobs including a narrow gauge railway line .
The bridge over the canal & river was demolished in 1982.
The site is still being used on a small scale & there is security.
Explored with Mr Morrisey.
