National Filling Factory No.7, Hayes

            It covered 200 acres and began operation in the autumn of 1915. At its height it employed roughly 10,000 women and 2,000 men.  It closed in early 1919.  There were nine fatalities during that time; three women killed by explosions in March 1916,  a man in January 1917 and another woman in May 1917 and four deaths from toxic jaundice (caused by Amatol, a mixture of TNT and ammonium nitrate). Ten women also received OBEs for "courage and devotion to duty" which probably indicates that they suffered a significant injury.
