ROF Bridgend

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ROF Bridgend, (Filling Factory No. 2), was one of the largest of sixteen World War II, UK government-owned, Royal Ordnance Factory munitions Filling Factories. It was of great significance to the Britain's war effort. At its peak of production it employed around 40,000 people — said to be the largest ever factory in Britain's history.

ROF Bridgend closed in 1946, it having been designated a War Duration Only ROF. Like some of the other closed ROFs it became an industrial estate. The administration buildings were taken over after the war to became the Glamorgan County Police Headquarters. It is now the South Wales Police headquarters [1].
