Just here stood an underground air-raid shelter. It had two brick-built entrances with concrete stairs going down to about 15 feet below ground level. There were metal beds with metal spring bases. These were still there until at least 2 years after the war had ended. On the mounded grassed surface were several air ducts and these can jus be made out on magnification of the picture. These air ducts were removed very soon after the war had ended,,,maybe by the start of 1946-7. The basement of this block (Aston House) also housed an area used by the residents as an air-raid shelter. At the other end of the block the basement was sectioned off into small, lockable "shed" or storage areas for the tenants. '
