Re: Who remembers the 'bomb' shelters?
I remember the Anderson shelters, we had one in our garden that you had to climb down into. I remember the planes going over one night and I was in my Mum's arms at the back door, she was too frightened to run up the garden with the searchlights picking out the planes flying overhead. My Dad had to run back to the back door and pull us along to the shelter.Re: Who remembers the 'bomb' shelters?
