Where the Higher Road, Vicarage Road and Lockwell meet is a signpost. It is a typical Somerset style version, note the arms pointing to 'ROF'. That is a reference to the Royal Ordnance Factory a few miles down the road, which made various chemical products including explosives. That factory began work in WWII and went on into privatisation in 1985; it later closed completely in 2008 and is now hoped to become the site of a 'giga-factory' producing electric batteries for transport.
