Bridgend was a filling factory. Components from all of the
various Ordnance establishments in the country would be shipped to Bridgend for
final assembly. The Navy was the principal customer
of ROF 53, with nearly half of the production eventually going to the Royal
Navy. From munitions for light guns, smoke, signals and heavy shells.
The Army received medium rounds, demolition charges,
smoke, mortar rounds, rocket components and grenades to name but a few.
The Royal air force also took delivery of bombs and
detonators from Bridgend.
