Image description

Cunard Shell Works, Bootle, Merseyside. Female workers operating heavy machinery in one of the lathe workshops. In 1915 the Cunard Steamship Company’'s store and engineering works at Rimrose Road, Bootle, was converted into a munitions factory. Four-and-a-half-inch, six-inch and eight-inch shells were brought to Cunard's Shell Works to be finished, checked and varnished before being taken to another factory in the area to be filled with explosive. Bedford Lemere & Co.
