NRHE data transfer: The late 19th century Explosives Factory at Pitsea Hall Farm was identified from documentary sources during the RCHME project 'Dangerous Energy the archaeology of gunpowder and military explosives manufacture'. A field visit was made to the factory in August 1994 to confirm its location and to ascertain the level of survival of the monument. Earthworks and a number of buildings were found to survive. The buildings were subsequently photographically recorded in September 1994 and the site was recorded by aerial photography as part of the East Thames Corridor Project.
