The Cork gunpowder explosion was a large explosion that took place in Cork, Ireland on 3 November 1810.
Twenty two people were killed and over forty injured when gunpowder stored in a labourer's house in Brandy Lane, Cork, exploded. A subsequent inquiry revealed that several employees of the Ballincollig Royal Gunpowder Mills , had been systematically stealing the material which was then sold on to quarrymen for rock blasting.
