Monument record TR 15 NE 821 - Second World War Civil Defence warden’s post on Longport Street, Canterbury

Summary

Early in the Second World War there was a civil-defence warden’s post in what was described as a ‘Kiosk’ on Longport Street. It seems to have been a fairly rudimentary surface post, purpose-built out of sandbags. In August 1940 the wardens’ service accepted the use, free of charge, of the cellar of a nearby building.
