In Richard Brooke's Liverpool As It Was During the Last Quarter of the Eighteenth Century, pp. 365-367, it's noted that in 1779 the "best proof gunpowder" be lodged in the "Magazines" on the Cheshire shore and to be removed in sufficient quantities for use at "the New Fort and St. George's Battery" in case of an attack by the American privateersman John Paul Jones.
