A watching brief and historic building survey was carried out during the demolition of a Second World War air-raid shelter at Chislet Court School in 2011.

From the report

"The air raid shelter sat in the north-west corner of the playground and consisted of a rectangular yellow brick built structure c.8.1m x c.4.7m, aligned north-west – south-east (Fig. 1, Plates 1 and 2). It had a 0.15m thick concrete roof that oversailed the walls by c.0.1m. The shelter stood c.2.15m high, although the playground had been built up, which made the building’s original external height
c.2.25m high. Internally the rooms were all approximately 2.1m high. The brickwork was laid in English bond and the walls sat on a low concrete plinth, c.0.1m high, with a slate damp proof course.
At the time of this survey the shelter contained four rooms, but this seems to have been a consequence of alterations made after the war, presumably, to make it a more useful building for the school…."(1)
