Monument record TQ 67 SE 1217 - Milton Place Second World War public air raid shelter, Gravesend
Summary
Second World War public tunnel air raid shelter for 675 people under the former recreation ground (now a public car park) east of Milton Place, Gravesend. It originated as a trench shelter during the Munich Crisis of 1938, to be strengthened in 1940 and decommissioned by 1945, and probably sealed in 1946. It is probable that the shelter exists archaeologically.
