Reservation poster

To leave the shelterers in no doubt where they stood there were Rules posted upon the walls. This one sets out the rules for reservations which were introduced to prevent 'trekking' where people used the shelters almost to live in rather than on a nightly basis.

 
 
 
School poster

Another wartime poster advertising 'Open Air Nursery Schools for Little Children'

 
 
 
signage poster

All the shelter's tunnels and bunks where indexed using an alphabetic system. Signs like this one were located throughout the shelter so that you could locate your bunk as indicated on your reservation ticket.

 
 
 
shelter wardens office

This is the Shelter Wardens Office which was located just inside the main entrance. It also contained all the electrical switchgear and the public address (Tannoy) system.

The main entrance now seriously back-filled. Another mattress lies against the right wall. Behind the camera is is the blast wall.
