Framed Print of Sixteen women and children were inside the surface air raid shelter nearest the camera
Sixteen women and children were inside the surface air raid shelter nearest the camera when a heavy bomb exploded in the road about three feet from the outer wall. It happened during an air raid on an East Coast town. Only one of the occupants was slightly hurt. The shelter was one of the Ministry of Home Securitys standard reinforced communal type, built of brick and cement mortar and strengthened with 4 brick skin carried round into a new floor, with an additional 3 of concrete over the roof. The blast caused half of the shelter to sheer away from the other half. It was moved about 9 feet. The other half, which was outside the crater, was pivotted round about 2 feet. Although the skin walls were badly cracked and partly collapsed, little damage occurred inside. The shelter retained its shape and the wooden bunks were not broken.
