I think if the ammosexual conservatives knew that it was the Chinese who invented gunpowder, they would go ballistic. #guns #firearms #gunpowder

"Messrs Achburn, Soulpetre and Ashreborn" and the ingredients of gunpowder in James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake". #111Words #JamesJoyce #FinnegansWake #RolandMcHugh #Gunpowder #Sulfur #Saltpetre #Charcoal https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2023/02/messrs-achburn-soulpetre-and-ashreborn.html

Today in Labor History January 31, 1606: Guy Fawkes jumped to his death moments before his execution for treason. Guy Fawkes belonged to a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Fawkes, who had converted to Catholicism, also fought in the 80-Years War for Catholic Spain against the Dutch. He later traveled to Spain seeking support for a Catholic rebellion in England. The English tortured him into confessing the names of his co-conspirators. Brits have celebrated Guy Fawkes Day ever since, usually accompanied by fireworks and burning effigies, traditionally the pope, but recently they’ve burned effigies of Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Margaret Thatcher, instead. James Sharpe, professor of history at the University of York, called Fawkes "the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions." Numerous historical novels and children’s books have been written about Fawkes, including William Harrison Ainsworth's 1841 historical romance “Guy Fawkes; or, The Gunpowder Treason.”

@OOH99 passing thru #Ballincollig yesterday I was thinking it’s time to get back to that park! Bless that #gunpowder trail

Well done to those voting for #MadresfieldCourt located in #Malvern, #Worcestershire.

This came to light with records released from the #NationalArchives and Worcestershire #CountyCouncil.

In the same plan, #WinstonChurchill was to be relocated to #SpetchleyPark a few miles SW of Worcester with the the #Cabinet being sent to #HindlipHall (also known for its involvement with the #gunpowder plot and various #priestholes) in North Worcester.

#Parliament itself was destined for #StratfordOnAvon.

Powder Mills. Former site of Devon’s only gunpowder factory.

It supplied the local mines and quarries and the Royal Navy in Plymouth.

At its height a community of 150 people lived and worked in this remote spot.

The building are widely spaced across the site - to ensure that any accident in one didn’t set off a chain reaction in the others.

Gibt es eigentlich irgendeine sinnvolle/leckere Verwendung für den ersten Aufguss von grünem #Tee (spezifisch #Gunpowder) außer ihn direkt zu trinken?
Mag nämlich den zweiten Aufguss lieber.

Merken: Für einen Schreibtischtag morgens nur einen halben Liter #Gunpowder kochen.
Ein ganzer Liter wird
a) kalt und
b) tritt mir zu heftig in den Allerwertesten.

The Dangerously Delightful Homemade Rockets of Thailand

"Map of Mammoth Cave [#Kentucky, US] drawn from memory by an early African American guide, Stephen Bishop. It shows the labyrinth of passages that made up the #MammothCave system, now considered the world's longest, as it was known in the early 19th century. It assigns colorful names to various passages, chambers and famous spots along the route. The "Rotundo" is shown, where saltpeter from the cave was processed by #enslaved individuals into #gunpowder for use by American troops during the War of 1812. Underground rivers are shaded and named.
#StephenBishop was born enslaved around 1821. His owner, #FranklinGorin, purchased Mammoth Cave in 1838 and used Bishop as a guide in order to monetize his purchase. In 1839, Gorin sold the estate, Bishop included, to #DrJohnCroghan. Bishop was the first known person to cross the "Bottomless Pit" and thus explore the #cave beyond that point. In 1842, Croghan had Bishop draw a #map of Mammoth Cave, which was eventually published in 1844. Bishop was freed in 1856, one year before his death from tuberculosis."

Thanks @vilay to point me this story from the chapter 6 of the book "Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet" by #ClaireEvans.

@wizardofosmium
Absolutely nothing to do with Juniper Green, so I don't know why I was reminded of your visit to Roslin Glen. Anyway, I came across this photo of the gunpowder works in said glen. Thought it might be of interest.

I've no idea what snuff mills look like, off to do an image search.
