Hello Lidsters: Can anyone tell me what a carters boy would be. Also I have a great grandmother who worked as an ammunition maker in the Aston area. She lived at 8 Ct.Tower Road. Was there a particular large plant in that area in 1891? Or did the ammunition industry involve a lot of small plants? Gerry Edwards Canada

Hello Gerry I believe Kynock's in Witton was the largest munitions factory in Europe, later to become ICI. My aunt who lived in Bevington Road Aston worked there for many years, before, during and after the war. I am not sure when it started though.
