About Fencing in Billingham
Billingham grew almost overnight after the Ministry of Munitions built a factory on flat farmland here in 1918 to produce ammonium nitrate for explosives, later becoming the heart of ICI's Billingham Works after the company's formation in 1926 from a merger of four British chemical firms. At its peak the works was the largest factory in the British Empire, employing more than 10,000 people making fertilisers and, later, products ranging from nylon to Quorn, before much of the industry was sold off through the 1990s and 2000s.
