Andy,

I have Majendie's (HM Inspector of Explosives) report on the explosions. Its a long report and on my list of documents to copy. It will be a while, but if you want a copy let me know.

Try Wikipedia

You may have a little luck with information in "Wikipedia" under List of Royal ordnance Factories !
The list is by no means exhaustive but is interesting.

Good luck in the hunt.
