Lemington Point During World War 1 Lemington Point was known as "Canary Island" due to the existence of a munitions factory using a substance (cordite) with a bright yellow colouring. The Point was an ideal location for a munitions factory, given its isolated site - it was physically separated from the rest of Lemington, and accessed only by a wooden bridge. In 1958 it was the site of the Anglo Great Lakes Graphite Factory which supplied graphite for nuclear power stations. This closed in 1992 and was demolished.
