In the twentieth century this site in Somerton was home to the Cow and Gate milk factory. On 29th September, 1942, a German air raid attacked Bristol but one lone aircraft struck here. Flying at low level it dropped four time-fused bombs which landed on the factory; the fuses were short and the blasts killed nine employees. Their names are dedicated on this stone.
