Workers killed in Chilwell munition factory disaster remembered on 100th anniversary

More than a hundred people who lost their lives in a munitions factory explosion during World War One will be remembered this weekend, one hundred years on.

The explosion at the Chilwell shell filling factory on 1st July 2018 was Britain's worst loss of life on the home front during the war. Now a new memorial is being unveiled and local school children are learning about the disaster a century after it happened.

Footage of workers filling shells at the factory in Chilwell has been painstakingly restored by technicians at the Imperial War Museum, after lying unnoticed in a garden shed for almost a century.

It was found covered in water and grass cuttings - but has now been treated to enable people to view the images it captured.

The shell filling factory provided more than 19 million shells over the course of the First World War which were used on the Western Front.
