Second World War semi-underground industrial air raid shelter on the eastern extremity of a factory immediately west of Taunton Road, Swanscombe. It was of massive concrete construction with an entrance/exit from a back alley of a terrace of house on the western side of Taunton Road, with another into the building of the factory itself. There was at least one large chamber. Date of construction is unknown but is likely to have been 1939/40, with decommissioning c. 1945. Thought to have been demolished about 2000. (2)
