Anderson Shelter

An Anderson Shelter is a small underground protective structure built in people's gardens during World War II in the UK. Designed to safeguard families from bombing raids, it is typically made of steel and concrete, with a domed or arched shape that can withstand significant blast forces. The shelter is positioned just below ground level and is often covered with soil to provide additional protection and insulation. During the war, many families used Anderson Shelters as safe spaces to stay during attacks, and some remain as historical relics today.
