My great grandmother was a survivor of this blast , my granma is now 85 and just recently told me the story of how her mother was involved. I don't know alot all I know is she worked there when the blast went off in 1918 xHi Ashlolchris,
I downloaded this here from this page, Nellie is my great grandmother! many thanks.Hi tcherry, I'm doing some research on the Chilwell explosion for a WW1 project. I'd be really interested in speaking to you about it. Many thanks, Emily
Her son was my grandfather Robert Hall, raised by an Aunt i believe, and finally settling in Fife, Scotland. He was born in 1916, so was still very young when she died. He had a sister, Kathleen, 3yrs older than him. Nellie and Robert senior were married in 1913, my sister found Robert seniors grave at Ypres.
