![This wooden stool came from an explosives factory at Perranporth and was sold for 6d.[2.5p] when the factory finally closed in 1918. Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Peace Prize, once owned the explosives factory originally known in 1889 as the British & Colonial Explosives Company. The Nobels bought the factory in 1892, but moth-balled it in 1905-14. Munitions were made here in 1914-18 and 1,000 people, mainly women, were employed. RAF Perranporth took over the site in World War II.](/includes/thumb/phpThumb.php?src=/images/showcase/Nobel's stool.jpg&q=100&w=400)
