I was taken from working in the potts to ammunitions work at swynnerton.
This was very dangerous work particulary as I was working with the detonators. They were very sensitive to touch, light and moisture.
One lady I knew, who was pregnant at the time, lost both her hands when a detonator went off by accident.
