The late gunpowder explosion: site of the powder-magazines at Belvedere, in the Erith Marshes, 1864. Plan showing the magazines '...which blew up on...1st October. This plan was drawn from an actual survey by Mr. H. W. Marriner, of the Edith Academy, for the inspection of the Coroner's jury at the inquest...The magazine of Messrs. John Hall and Co. was 50ft. square, with 10ft. perpendicular depth of wall. That of the Low Wood Company, otherwise Messrs. Day and Barker's, was 28 ft. wide by 48 ft. long; depth of wall, 6 ft. 6 in. The length of frontage belonging to the former was 165 yards, and to the latter 64 yards. The distance from the one magazine to the other was 64 yards. The distance from the Low Wood Company's magazine to the house of their foreman, Silver, was but 50 yards; while Rayner, the storekeeper of Messrs. Hall, had his dwelling 71 yards from their magazine: but the cottages of Wright and York were only 67 yards from it. The jetty projecting from Messrs. Hall's magazine into the river was 122ft. in length. The nearest powder-magazine to those at Belvedere was that of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, which was 682 yards from Messrs. Hall's. The scene of the explosion was 1300 yards from Erith Church and 1500 yards from the gasworks'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
