plymouth, air raid shelter.

[theterrorwheel]

couldnt find any history relating to this particular shelter, its made up of 2 square sections and its a precast concrete ARS with reinforcing girders to beef it up abit as they were not strong enough in just precast form, but im sure you can tell that from the pics, this one had the most ww2 graffiti that i have seen in any shelter, anyway shelter pics first.

there is a few ars of this style in plymouth, although im more of a fan of the poured comcrete type of shelters. that one you put a link up for looked very good, for some reason i really liked the steps down to it, dont get to see them very often.

amusing entry and exit i must say

 

[Timmy]

Monkey see Monkey doo!

been and checked out the same shelter as Si aka TTW and must admit its some shelter... i hope its a-ok to share the same thread as id find it pointless to make another one... if other wise let me know and ill give you some smiley faces instead

one of the Graffiti i liked the most... what made some one do such a thing to even draw it on the wall is a question id never have an answer for

maybe more photos to come after i went with another person few days after these photos was taken
