Gunpowder production began in 1626, when the\u00a0East India Company\u00a0established mills to supply explosives for mining and military use. The fast-flowing river provided ideal water power, and the operation gradually expanded into a large complex of mills, glazing houses and storage buildings spread along the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-columns wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-columns\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:58.88076%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Tillingbourne at Work Walk - Massive building on the side of the footpath\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"9843\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/tillingbourne-at-work-walk\/tillingbourne-at-work-walk-gunpowder-factory\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=375&#038;ssl=1 375w\" alt=\"Tillingbourne at Work Walk - Staircase going down in the dark with an opening at the end showing a grass\" data-height=\"500\" data-id=\"9840\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/tillingbourne-at-work-walk\/tillingbourne-at-work-walk-gunpowder-factory-2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-2.jpg\" data-width=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:41.11924%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-3.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=375&#038;ssl=1 375w\" alt=\"Tillingbourne at Work Walk - Sidewall of one of the remaining buildings\" data-height=\"500\" data-id=\"9841\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/tillingbourne-at-work-walk\/tillingbourne-at-work-walk-gunpowder-factory-3\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-3.jpg\" data-width=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-3.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=375&#038;ssl=1 375w\" alt=\"Tillingbourne at Work Walk - Sidewall of one of the remaining buildings\" data-height=\"500\" data-id=\"9842\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/tillingbourne-at-work-walk\/tillingbourne-at-work-walk-gunpowder-factory-4\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-4.jpg\" data-width=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tillingbourne-at-Work-Walk-Gunpowder-factory-4.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Production continued for nearly 300 years under various owners as demand for gunpowder increased.

Formerly used for grazing and later requisitioned for military training during the Second World War, the common is now actively managed to preserve its open character and prevent scrub from overtaking the sun-loving plants that flourish here. In late summer, the heather blooms into a vivid purple haze, and throughout the year this fragile habitat supports specialised wildlife, including rare invertebrates and reptiles such as sand lizards, which depend on the warm, sandy ground for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It is time to close the loop and start the second part of our walk.

Her abandoned car was discovered near a chalk pit on the hillside, sparking a nationwide search and intense media attention.
