Barnbow

I've been surprised at the number of societies who've requested this talk, four so far this year, as it's a subject which has been well documented and is a feature of many other speaker's programs.

Perhaps I just tell it a different way!

My talk details how and why the building of the National Shell Filling Factory No. 1 at Barnbow was necessary during WWI, who worked there and the terrible accident, resulting in the loss of 35 lives, which occurred at Barnbow on 6th December 1916.
I also cover in my talk the aftermath, the memorials to the dead and the fate of the Barnbow site.
Perhaps your society would also be interested in this my most popular talk.
