ROF Kirkby ROF Kirkby , ( Filling Factory No . 7 ) was a large World War II Royal Ordnance Factory filling munitions . It was based in the rural area of Kirkby , Merseyside in order to reduce the potential damage from explosions ; and produced munitions from September 1940 to March 1946 . History . Original planning for the site began at Royal Arsenal , Woolwich , with Sir Alex Gibson acting as consultant and Holloway Brothers the contractors . When completed the factory consisted of more than 1 , 000 buildings , of roads and of railway lines along with a station and had cost £8 , 500 , 000 . ( approx . £1 , 800 million inflation adjusted as share of GDP ) As a way to minimise the risk of damage in the event of an explosion taking place the buildings were widely spaced and some were mounded up to the eaves . In July 1940 Lawrence Gale from the Royal Arsenal , Woolwich , was appointed the Superintendent , taking 9 staff with him and when the first shells rolled off the assembly line in September 1940 there were only between 50 and 100 employees . By the summer of 1941 this had risen to 10 , 000 before rising to a peak of around 23 , 000 employees , most of whom were women . Medical treatment rooms were built onsite in order to cater to such a large workforce .

In order to house these employees 200 houses for key workers were built in the area and a YWCA hostel was built to house 1000 women . The factory employed a three shift system so that production was continuous , combining with the transport system so that as it dropped off one shift of employees it would take home another shift . The ROF was eventually closed in March 1946 , having been designated a " War Duration Only " ROF and it had produced around ten per cent of all the ammunition used in World War II by Britain . Afterwards the site was developed by Liverpool Corporation as an industrial estate and played a large part in the growth of Kirkby from a population of barely over 3 , 000 in 1951 to over 52 , 000 by 1961 . Accidents . There were two explosions at Kirkby ROF , one in February 1944 and one on September 15 , 1944 . Two people were killed in the first accident and 14 killed and 11 injured in the second .
