Entrance to BAE Systems, Bridgwater
Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF) Bridgwater was a factory between the villages of Puriton and Woolavington in the Sedgemoor district of Somerset, England that produced high explosives for munitions. It was slightly above sea level, between the 5-and-10-metre (16 and 33 ft) contour lines on Ordnance Survey maps. BAE Systems closed it when decommissioning was completed in July 2008.[1]
