Description from record TQ 67 SE 1213:
Second World War public air raid shelter for 100 people in the basement of the former National Provincial Bank, 146 Milton Road, Gravesend. It was established in 1939. Adaptation of the basement would have involved the insertion of timber strutting for improving its resilience to bomb blast. It would have been decommissioned at the end of the Second World War in Europe in 1945 and strutting would have been removed by 1946. The building above is now used as a restaurant.
Owner : Private
Publicly accessible : No
How accessed for survey : The basement is a closed part of the restaurant which now utilises the building
