Image description: Cunard Shell Works, Bootle, Merseyside. Workers, male and female, finishing the interiors of shell cases in the Cunard Shell Works in Bootle. In 1915 the Cunard Steamship Company's store and engineering works at Rimrose Road, Bootle, was converted into a munitions factory. Four-and-a-half-inch, six-inch and eight-inch shells were brought to Cunard's Shell Works to be finished, checked and varnished before being taken to another factory in the area to be filled with explosive. Bedford Lemere & Co.
