• May 1850 newspaper:
  "Destructive Explosion at the Herodsfoot Powder Mills, near Liskeard:- On Friday evening last, about a quarter past nine, the report of a loud explosion was hear at Liskeard, which produced a violent shaking of windows and doors throughout the town. Bright flashes of light were at the same time observed in the south west, and from the direction it was presumed that an explosion had taken place at the East Cornwall Gunpowder Works, about five miles distant near Herodsfoot. This turned out to be the fact, accompanied by the loss of two lives and distructive damage to the buildings. On visiting the scene, which afforded a grand but an awful evidence of the tremendous power of gunpowder, we found a spectacle of devastation and wreck such as our readers who have not visited the spot will be totally unable to conjure up in their imaginations. Large buildings were not only levelled to the ground, but every stone and every vestige of their foundations removed to a distance of many yeards from their site. Large trees were not only torn up and broken in pieces, but every fibre of their composition brackled into fringe. To revert to particulars. It appears that a drying house and sizing house, and a graining and glossing mill have been totally destroyed. Other miles and buildings at a considerable distance, have been shattered and unroofed , and the doors and windows, and every part of the valley exposed to the shock, destroyed and unhinged. An inquest was held upon the bodies of Joseph PENGELLY and Samuel TRUSCOTT, the unfortunate sufferers, on Monday last, at which it was shown that these men were both of steady and sober habits, and by the evidence of young Mr LOBB, the son of the manager, who left the deceased together only a few minutes before the explosion, they had been going their rounds with a lantern to see that every thing was right at the time. It appears probable from the position of some of the remains of the unfortunate Truscott found, that the explosion commenced at the drying house, although as there could be no positive evidence to show, the jury returned a verdict of "died by the explosion of gunpowder".
  The drying house was a large house surrounded by rows of steam pipes heated by a boiler; in an adjoining building, there was contained at the time of the accident 37 cwt. of powder in a partially dry state. In the next house at a distance of About twenty yards, which was a house where the gunpowder was sized or divided into grains of different sizes by sifting, were about two tons of powder undried and in course of work; between this and the next building lay the remains of the unfortunate man Pengelly in mangled fragments. The next building at a distance of about fifteen yards contained two machines, one for polishing and the other for corning the powder. These contained together about 13 cwt. of powder, and the whole of these buildings, with the valuable machinery therein, were totally destroyed. The next building was the pressing house, which contained at the time of the explosion, a considerable quantity of materials in the state of cake, which happily escaped with only trifling damage to the roof. Above this in the valley were the pulverizing mills, which are supposed to be the most dangerous but the explosion of which from the small quantity of materials contained in them would have been comparatively ...?
  Above all and in a commanding situation was the house of the manager Mr Lobb, the whole of the windows and doors in which were completely driven in and the internal fixtures displaced. Mr Lobb who was in bed at the time in one of the front rooms, suffered severely from the glass which was driven into his face and he was otherwise much bruised. The other members of the family consisting of eleven persons escaped without injury. Above the manager's dwelling house at some distance was a magazine containing upwards of 40 tons of powder in a completed state packed and awaiting shipment - the door of this magazine was driven in, but as it was at least two hundred yards from the place of explosion, and the force of it having taken a parallel direction, no further damage was sustained in this building. The proprietors have we understand been most attentive to the wants of the families of the deceased, and the attention of the Rev. Richard BULLER, the Rector of the parish has been most exemplary. Samuel Truscott, has left a wife and seven children, and Pengelly a wife and three children to lament their loss."
