 Air-raid Shelters

You've jogged the few memory cells remaining here, Robert. I don't know whether you mean the same ones, but there were two shelters, situated practically side by side and three-quarters buried in the front grassy area of the old Library Site.
They were long and narrow, with quite an amount of room inside, their roofs were made of brick and semi-circular in shape. At a guess, i'd say they were 50 feet in length approximately, by about 15 feet or so wide. But that's only a rough estimate of their size. I only went down one of them once.

So, the people in power then, were actually concerned for the safety of the local populace. I can't say the same for the so-called 'powers' that 'rule' today.
