The NGR puts it just West of Aintree railway station where there "Industrial Estate" is marked on the modern map. I can't see Bland Park Farm but I notice there is a soap factory marked on the 1928 map on the Old Maps website. Aintree, Bland Park Farm, Sefton NFF No. 2, SJ 36 98 - Great War explosive factory and filling factory I had a look on Google Earth but there is no coverage of that area on the Historic Imagery. If you do a search on Google for Aintree Filling Factory you will find quite a bit including a painting of the factory.

Since posting it I have come to the conclusion that the person concerned worked at the munitions factory at Aintree. I am not sure now why it was thought to be at Ogdens. So my questions now are where in Aintree this factory was and does anyone know of any explosions that occurred. I imagine that explosions at all munitions factories, or to be more precise munitions filling factories, were not unusual.

She lost her arm in an explosion there. The story is that she was blown out of the factory onto the nearby railway line where a train ran over her arm. I don't think this is true; as far as I know there never was a railway line anywhere near the factory. Can anyone direct me to information about the use of Ogdens as a munitions factory in WWI and explosions there? Also possible nearby railway lines? I know that it would not have been one of the main munitions factories in Liverpool but I understand there were many small sites set up.
