ROF Aycliffe, was a Royal Ordnance Factory built on an 867-acre site off Heighington Lane, Aycliffe, County Durham, England during the early 1940s.
The factory's workers included around 17,000 women from the surrounding towns and villages, who worked filling shells and bullets and assembling detonators and fuzes for the war effort. They became known as the "Aycliffe Angels" after a Nazi propaganda broadcast from Lord Haw-Haw threatened that "The little angels of Aycliffe won't get away with it" and promised that the Luftwaffe would bomb them into submission.
