Monument record TR 15 NW 782 - Public air-raid shelter and emergency feeding centre in Cozens’s Brickworks, St Michael’s Road, Canterbury

Summary

There was an impromptu public air-raid shelter making use of a pre-existing kiln-trench at the brick kilns at the junction of Salisbury Road and St Michael’s Road. Early in 1941 an emergency feeding centre seems to have been established here. At the start of January 1941, a portion of the shelter was considered for adaption as an alternative civil-defence Control Centre but this idea was rejected due to flooding. Late in February 1941 the shelter was declared unfit for any use.
