1844 : After an interview with Prince Albert, George started "Powdermills", a gunpowder factory powered by huge water-wheels, on Dartmoor (between Two Bridges and Postbridge). Cost 12,000 pounds. He later received a commendation from the Prince for these works. Lobbied successfully for convicts to be sent to Dartmoor rather than being shipped to the colonies. A lifelong teetotaller, George was a pioneer in working for the repeal of the Corn Laws (?), and often went to London to give evidence on this for Sir Robert Peel, and also for a Parliamentary Select Committee.
George died on 4 Sept 1868. Susanna died soon after (14 Mar 1869).
