LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry
Foleshill Station: lnwrf2078
A Metro Cammell two-car DMU unit has just passed the former
Munitions Sidings as it approaches Foleshill station on a local Nuneaton
service on Sunday 16th April 1961. In the distance the siding branching off to
the right led to an industrial estate owned by Whitmore Park Estates which
during World War One was used for armaments production. One of the factories
was the Holbrook's National Filling Factory which placed explosives in the
steel shell casings produced by the Daimler Motor Company. In later years the
branch connected to the Dunlop Rim and Wheel Company.
