Air raid shelter

Photo of air raid shelter

This shelter was built for the pupils of  Princes Plain Secondary School for Girls. When that school closed in the 1980s, the site was taken over by the primary school. The shelter has been much altered (see below) and is now a storeroom.

The original entrances to the shelter have been either bricked up (see left) or replaced by wooden doors. The shelter has also been shortened at either end.
