There was a Second World War Civil Defence warden’s post (Post ‘C/10’) in an ‘underground shelter’ on St Lawrence’s Road. At an early date, Post ‘C/11’ may have been amalgamated with this post. This was an ‘advanced post’, manned continuously rather than just on Action Warning like most. As such it may well have been waterproofed and supplied with an electric fire late in 1939. Temporary sanitary accommodation may also have been provided. Around April 1943, as part of a rearrangement of Canterbury’s civil-defence wardens posts, this post was renumbered Post ‘C/3.’
