Centenary Commemoration of the Chilwell Shell-filling Factory Explosion – 1st July 1918
This year marks 100 years since this local disaster.Over 130 people were killed, including 25 women. Another 250 were injured. It was Britain’s worst wartime civilian disaster. At the time, the government tried to cover up the extent of destruction so as not to weaken national morale. Chetwynd Barracks now occupies the site. St Mary’s Church, Attenborough (where many of those killed are buried) has organised lots of events to commemorate this, including an exhibition at the church running 25th June - 1st July and a family day on Saturday 30th June from 2pm in the church grounds.
