Monument record TQ 67 SW 1252 - New Road Second World War air raid wardens post, Gravesend, Kent

Summary

Temporary Second World War air raid wardens post at 36 New Road, Gravesend, Kent. It presumably utilised a basement area of an existing shop. The post probably lasted just a few months of 1939 as there were difficulties between Gravesend Council and the owner of the shop and the post was ordered relocated. The shop was rebuilt in about 1975 although the basement may still exist.
