Bexhill air raid shelter

[racknruin]

Not a huge amount to see in Bexhill, so quite pleased that this small air-raid shelter turned out to be a bit more interesting than expected. I read somewhere that it was also intended to use it as a casualty station in the event of invasion

It stands on a busy road and is gradually being overrun by foliage:

Looking back from inside entrance, small toilet chamber on left, road straight ahead:

Chemical toilet still in place:

Main chamber, with blast walls at each end:

Air vent on outside wall:

Similar layout at other end, with toilet chamber on right & second entrance ahead with original wooden door:

Outside of door with a wooden box of some sort:

Hope you enjoyed this & thanks for looking!
