Constructing a 15-inch gun at the works of Vickers. Test fired at Eskmeals in what is now Cumbria. The film supposedly dates from 1915.

I uploaded this film so that my bed-ridden father could watch it on his big TV rather than an iPad. Sadly he’s no longer with us, but I think that he was impressed by the footage.
