Rotherwas Munitions Factory
Munitions factory at Rotherwas, just outside Hereford. It was opened for WWI as a National Filling Factory (NFF), where it made various munitions, including folklore has it, Mustard Gas.
The factory was closed down after WW I, but reopened again just before WW II, again as a filling factory only called Royal Ordinance Factory (ROF) not NFF.
It suffered a bomb detonating in 1944, along with a fire and a German plane which dropped a bomb on it's return part of the mission. It has been abandoned since the war
