'Keep carm and carry on'
Might it be a local dialectic spelling or might it mean karma?
A brick structure of no immediately obvious purpose is decorated with some WWII images and the famous slogan. It may be worth wondering if the people who painted it and those who will pass by the scene know much about the actual Blitz, such is the increasing length of time now separating it.

New kit for the park users
New equipment for the active users of North Petherton Memorial Park has arrived! Refurbishment work was affected by Covid lockdowns and unauthorised occupation of the site by travellers and so the work was not completed until April, 2021.
Specialist firm H.A.G.S. supplied the hardware and were supported with funding from the Hinkley Point Community Fund, Viridor, Persimmon Homes and Larkfleet Homes, as well as several local government sources.

Memorial bench and tree
The bench and tree behind it were given to mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of the end of WWII. North Petherton Memorial Park is itself dedicated to the townsmen and women who were killed during that conflict. Interestingly, there appears to be no mention of WWI.

The town created a public park as a memorial to those who were lost in the Second World War. It was given a refurishment in 2020, with new play equipment, tracks and a new set of gates following a forced occupation by travellers.
