LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Foleshill Station: lnwrf2078

A Metro Cammel two-car DMU unit has just passed the former Munitions Sidings as it approaches Foleshill station on a local Nuneaton service

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.
