ROF Swynnerton: Bullets, Bombs and Roses

Graham Bebbington | Published by Churnet Valley Books

A compelling account of the Royal Ordnance Factory at Swynnerton, Staffordshire — one of Britain's most significant munitions production sites during the Second World War. Graham Bebbington chronicles the factory's remarkable history: the thousands of workers, many of them women, who risked their lives filling shells and assembling bombs, and the community that grew up around the site.

Drawing on personal testimonies, photographs, and archival research, Bullets, Bombs and Roses is both a social history and a tribute to the men and women of Staffordshire who served on the home front.
