AIR RAID SHELTERS
Getting the Anderson Shelter ready The shelter was made of six curved corrugated steel sheets. First, a shallow pit of about 3ft had to be dug measuring about ten feet by four feet. Then the six corrugated steel sheet sides were bolted together. The curved ends formed the roof of the shelter. The rear section put into place followed by the front, with provision for an entrance. The shelters were then covered in a thick layer of earth (18" was recommended).
(Note the toy dog with its gas mask on top of the Shelter)
