There was a Second World War Civil Defence warden’s post (Post ‘C/4’) at 29 St George’s Place (near the Chantry Lane end). This was one of the ordinary (or ‘Action Warning’) posts and was only manned on Action Warning. It was in a room of the building, without special protection, but a private shelter was available in the garden. In December 1942 the post was ordered to be replaced by post with protected sleeping accommodation on a suitable site in Chantry Lane. It is not clear whether this happened however; the post seems to have been redundant early in 1943 and there is no record of a new post on Chantry Lane.
