Derbyshire / Re: Gallows Inn Ilkeston
« on: Friday 21 May 10 19:20 BST (UK) »
I lived at gallows inn in the forties, fifties, and sixties.
What i was always told was that the Horse and Groom pub was built on the site of the gallows,
thats why the pub was known as the gallows inn. So the gallows were there before the pub and possibly before the canal was built. You probably need to go further back in history. I hope this helps.

Nottinghamshire / Re: chilwell munitions factory WW1

This is a link to a website i found which shows a short film of the chilwell munitions factory and what it was like to work there in 1917.
If you look in the photograph section you will find some pictures of the inside and one after the explosion showing the devastation it caused. Hope the link works.

Thanks for the welcome cheshire.
I remember my father telling me when i was a young lad that his father who worked at chilwell was awarded the obe after the explosion and i never forgot.
I have just read a very good book called "1918 year of victory" by malcolm brown who worked at the imperial war museum and the chilwell munitions explosion is mentioned. It tells you the names of the four women who won the award but not the names of the eight men.
It also states that the iwm have some hand written documents relating to the disaster, so i have contacted them and am just waiting for a reply. I might have to go to the iwm to read them if its possible.
I saw an old film of the chilwell munitions factory on a website last year but i cannot remember the address.It was really good. The obe stands for the honour of Officer of the Order of the british Empire
and was only formed in january 1918, so these were some of the first to be awarded.
If i receive any more information i will post it.
