PLAN: Piers with walls curving forward extend approx. 20m to left and right.
EXTERIOR: Capped piers and coped walls with secondary piers, the double-leaf gates have anthemion-headed finials and dogbars.
HISTORY: The Chart Gunpowder Mills formed part of the Home Works of the Royal Gunpowder Factory.
The walls and associated gate lodge (56 South Road, qv) to the Chart Mills (SAM) were built by the owner, William Hall, after all the Faversham works came under his control and were rationalised from 1854, and enclosed several pre-existing buildings. Formed the main approach and boundary walls to the mills, and are a instance of the use of stone in the town.
