Full Description
Contemporary records state, "Ammunition shelter. Grounds at "Westacre", Lexden. Map ref. 425435" (Mil. Ed.) <1>
'Westacre' stands on the corner of Lexden Road and Glen Avenue and although now with a relatively modest plot of land, an aerial photograph taken in May 1946 shows it to have stood in grounds extending from Lexden Road to Elianore Road.
No more is known about this shelter and the NGR above is that of "Westacre" house.
