Building record TR 15 NW 892 - Second World War Civil Defence Rest Centre at Beverley House, St Stephen’s Road, Canterbury
Summary
Late in 1940 a civil-defence rest centre, for people rendered homeless by enemy action, was established at Beverley House on St Stephen’s Road, with room for sixty persons. An emergency feeding centre was established here the following January. The rest centre had probably closed by around the middle of that year, but seems to have been re-established after the bombings of 1942.
