The Royal Ordnance Factory between Pontypool and Usk was created to produce munitions for WWII. It grew quickly and employed hundreds of people from the surrounding district, bussing people in from the valleys.
The link below tells the story of Gwyn Tucker (nee Taylor) who worked there from 1939 to 1945 when she moved to London with her new husband who had returned from the war.
A fascinating first-hand story of her working life.
