Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF) Bridgwater was a factory between the villages of Puriton and Woolavington in the Sedgemoor district of Somerset, UK that produced high explosives for munitions. It was slightly above sea level, between the 5 and 10 metre contour lines on Ordnance Survey maps. BAE Systems closed it when decommissioning was completed in July 2008. == History == It was constructed early in World War II for the Ministry of Supply, with the Ministry of Works as Agents. It was designed as an Explosive ROF to produce RDX, a new experimental high-explosive developed at the RGPF Waltham Abbey.〔Cocroft, Wayne D. (2000). ''Dangerous Energy: The archaeology of gunpowder and military explosives manufacture''. Swindon: English Heritage. ISBN 1-85074-718-0〕 Construction work started in 1939 and it opened in 1941. On 29 June 1951 an explosion killed six men. No cause was ever identified. It was also known as "''ROF 37''", a name that was reflected in its sports and social association, the "''37 Club''", just outside the perimeter fence.
