Bulloughs was also heavily involved in armanents in WW1, in 1917 they had near 10,000 involved, mostly shells & hand grenades.
Bulloughs had started to decline in the 1950's, when I went there in 1952, I was given a job in the pattern shop, but was told they did'nt know how long it would last, in 1957 they started to lay people off, 6 of us in the pattern shop alone, thats when I joined the Fire Brigade.
