HILLCREST SCHOOL AIR RAID SHELTERS
Constructed 1940
By Laurie Stonehouse
The forgotten Air Raid shelters from WWII in the grounds of the old Boys/County Secondary Modern School have recently been deemed unsafe. The small park above the shelters is currently closed, the shelters were constucted in 1940 presumably to protect the children from hostile bombs. Do you have any memories, or did you use these shelters during the last war?
