With the tide
of the First World War turning in
Germany's favour it was clear Britain and
her allies did not have enough ammunition
and so in 1915 the greatest cordite
factory on earth was built in Gretna.
30,000 people
were employed in the factory which
stretched 9 miles from Dornock to
Longtown and was 2 miles wide. |
|
 |
The output of the HM Factory Gretna was more than
all other munitions factories in Britain combined
and played a key role in the Allies' victory. The
Devil's Porridge Exhibition tells the story of
this remarkable venture and the secret cities
which were created to accommodate its workers.
Also covered in the exhibition is Quintinshill;
the worst railway disaster in British history, as
well as the stories of children evacuated to the
area during World War Two.

We are a small, established family run nursery

years and many customers who bought from our

today. The nursery is located in the beautiful and

hundreds of scarce and unusual plants that are
only ever available in small numbers and never
get into the main catalogue.
Buckland Plants is a small nursery some 350ft
above sea level and our climate is moist and
quiet cold as at this height we lose most of the
benefit of the Gulf Stream. However, we can grow
