Re: Air raid Shelter Under OUR Playgraound!

Interesting Mike, but where was the access?

Current location (optional) Shoreham by Sea

Re: Air raid Shelter Under OUR Playgraound!

Well Dave it is 72 yrs ago. I think the entrance was in the tunnel that led from the yard to the school . The ministry in charge must have bricked up the doorway soon after the war ended .

Re: Air raid Shelter Under OUR Playgraound!

My gestimation is that the entrance would be facing you as you left the bottom corridor - bogs to the right/stairs to the left,

Many thanks Mike, Terry,

For your detaied information.

Unlike Brian, I don't have an encyclopedriatric knowledge of the KBGS website and must apologise for my inadequacy.

It's a pity that he didn't advise BDMC and the Daily Mail of their belated discovery!

Terry's right about the location of the entrance. You could see the bricked-up doorway exactly where he describes it when we were at school.
