.AN INTERESTING EXPLORE THAT I HOPE TOO GO BACK TOO TOO DOCUEMENT MORE OF THIS AMAZING SITE ..Thousands of women sacrificed there health and lives during ww1 and ww2 too make explosives for the troops on the front line ...I have only just scrapped the surface here and have ww1 tunnels still too find and more pillboxes ...the railway lines go on for miles through this massive site and you really get a feel of the history of this site ..........further info here from wikipedia ..~~~~~World War I: NEF Pembrey[edit] The site was then used by Nobel's Explosives to build a TNT / propellant factory in 1914 with Government approval. Its construction was a response to the need to drastically increase the production of shells in World War I (see Shell Crisis of 1915). The Pembrey site was one of the first purpose-built TNT manufacturing sites, in the United Kingdom, in World War I. The factory was initially owned by Nobel's Explosives, but in 1917 it was taken over by the Ministry of Munitions and it became a National Explosives Factory (NEF Pembrey).[2] It produced 15,000 tons of TNT and 20,000 tons of propellant. The site was described as some 760 acres (310 ha).[2] After the end of World War I, it closed and the administration building became a convalescence home for children from the families of unemployed miners. Its water supply works were taken over by the nearby town of Llanelli and used to supply the town with water. World War II: ROF Pembrey[edit] Work started in July 1938 to build a new factory on the site,[3] with the Ministry of Works acting as Agents. It opened in December 1939 under the control of the Ministry of Supply as one of several explosive Royal Ordnance Factories making TNT. Unlike the other TNT ROF's, however, ROF Pembrey also made tetryl and ammonium nitrate. Some 3,000 people were employed there in World War II. After the end of World War II, it continued to manufacture TNT and tetryl for military use; and ammonium nitrate for agricultural use as a fertiliser. From 1944 onwards, ROF Pembrey undertook breakdown of surplus ammunition, such as 4.5 inch anti-aircraft shells and 500 lb (230 kg) bombs. The TNT being steamed out and then burnt. The chemical properties of explosive products manufactured or otherwise handled here, including TNT and ammonium nitrate, were continually sampled and tested in the chemical laboratory by technicians known as Junior Analysts. They included young women who were exposed to these hazardous materials on a daily basis. The title of Junior Analyst is still (2009) cited as a qualification for employment advertised in the region.
