Air-raid Shelters
replied on: 5/2/2007 3:03:52 PM
I went to Langley Mill Junior Mixed (previously Langley Mill Girls School), which had two air-raid shelters still there when I was at the school 1958-60. They were just past the canteen which was built in a war prefab.

They were the type that were half built into the ground, with steps down at both ends. I presume this was so there was two exits in case a bomb destroyed one entrance.
