Dodge Hill Air Raid Shelter - Stockport - Jan 2012

[Derelict-UK]

Thanks goes to Havoc for being our guide, this turned out to be more than I expected and was also bigger than I had imagined.

Dodge Hill was carved out of sandstone (Just like Drakelow but on a smaller scale lol) which made it quick and easy to construct.

Today the shelters are in pretty good condition with only a small amount of damage by graffiti and the environment.

From an age where people had a bond that is missing today, I think. Thank you for this posting.

Those are excellent photos, thanks so much for sharing
I visited both Dodge Hill and Brinksway shelters, and I have to say that Dodge Hill was the better one in my opinion even if Brinksway access was comedy

Spot on Night Crawler, can you imagine being a young kid and having to endure this and the sound of falling bombs, kids today just don't realise

Cracking photos as always fella

I'd have thought the Stockport air-raid shelters were less depressing than most....running water, flushing toilets, electric light
