Full Description
In 2014 a desk-based assessment and walkover survey took place at Broomhil Bank School. An air raid shelter was located somewhere in the pasture field to the north of the site. The shelter which has now been destroyed was built for use by the residents of Broomhill Bank during the Second World War but it is now no longer under the schools ownership. (1)
