Around July 1940, Canterbury’s civil-defence warden’s post ‘C/9’ seems to have been housed at 67 Cromwell Road, it may have been here since the start of Second World War. The story of this post is extremely convoluted and could do with checking (unfortunately impossible at present). It seems to have moved around, successively, from from 67 Cromwell Road to 28 Ethelbert Road, to 8 Ethelbert Road and finally to 25 Cromwell Road. It seems to have been an ordinary (or ‘Action Warning’) post, only manned on Action Warning, and may have been in a room of the house. By March 1943 this post had been transferred to 25 Cromwell Road.
