History
Bridgend played an important part during the Second World War. It was home to a prisoner of war camp at Island Farm and a large munitions factory (ROF Bridgend — known as the "Admiralty") at Waterton, as well as a large underground munitions storage base at Brackla (known as the 8 xs). This was an overspill of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich.
Probably one of the last remaining buildings left in Bridgend Ind Estate from the 1940s, not to much to see but before it gets pulled down like everything else in Bridgend i thought it was worth documenting it
