St Matthew's Primary School Air Raid Shelter
Heritage Open Day: World War II air raid shelter under playground, with historical display. Once equipped with shovels, picks, a crowbar and a seven pound hammer in case of direct hits, the shelter was used with great frequency from 1940. In the most notable incident, the school sheltered there as the first unexploded doodlebug to land in Britain was dealt with further along Powder Mill Lane. Suitable for all ages but there are steps leading underground at the entrance.
