My grandma is on this photograph, 6th. from right, next to back row. It was taken in Wigan Park. Her name was Sarah Brown. I don't know the date of the photo but it must have been during the first world war or soon after.I don't know where the factory was. I know there was a munitions factory in Beech Hill at a later date.

My grandmother is also on this photo, 2nd row of ladies from the front, 3rd from the right. I remember her saying she was 15-16, so that would have been around 1914.
We are a small local adult education charity in Wigan and our project this year is World War One. We would be delighted to hear about your relations who worked in the munitions during WW1. Will you kindly email us with your stories. Thank you, Eileen
