Full Description
One of the early types of communal shelter with brick walls and an arched concrete cap, which proved unpopular as the walls would shake and the concrete would sometimes fall onto those in the shelter causing injury.
The dimensions are approx 5m long by 3m wide by 2.5m tall. It is heavily overgrown and in poor condition. No internal access was possible due to a padlocked door (08/2021).
