View showing a group of women and girls employed at the Barnbow Munitions Factory during the First World
War. The factory, situated on Manston Lane, was set up in 1915 as a National Shell Filling Factory. 16,000 people, mostly women, were employed there at the peak of its production. It was a highly dangerous job and three fatal explosions occurred there, including one in 1916 which killed 35 women. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Barnbow Munitions Factory World War One | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
