About Uplees
Uplees was a key part of the Faversham explosives industry during World War I. The Cotton Powder Company imported raw materials via the deepwater channel of the Swale. At 2.20pm on Sunday 2 April 1916, a huge explosion ripped through the gunpowder mill. The blast killed 105 people and many were buried in a mass grave.
