- Title:
- Ratcliff Saltpetre Warehouses
- Scope & Content:
- The East India Company saltpetre warehouses at Ratcliff stood on ground to the south of Cock Hill leased from the Coopers' Company in 1770. They were destroyed in July 1794 when a fire spread from a neighbouring barge builder's premises and set light to part of the saltpetre stock causing an explosion. The warehouses were rebuilt and enlarged in 1795-96 using additional land leased from Jeremiah Snow. In 1796 the Company was granted permission by the City to build an embankment on the Thames adjoining the warehouses. Further enlargement of the premises was carried out in 1801, and in 1828 the Company spent nearly £6,000 in altering the eastern and western sections of the warehouses.
