On the S side of Napier Road, immediately alongside the road, two air raid shelters of a type found on military sites, still survive. They appear to be of the same type as the six shelters recorded at TL 9993 2429 (SMR 20625/MCC5371) semi-sunken, an entrance at opposite ends of the sloped faces, and banked-over earth. However, the easternmost of the pair has been heavily modified with up-standing brick-built entrances and a tall brick and steel flue outlet. A notice on the door identifies its current usage as a "Plant Room". The western shelter is significant in that one of the normally slabbed-over entrances is clear, enabling access down the concrete steps to a wooden internal door. This, however, is barred and bolted. A sign says "53 COY. (v)." Outside the door, opposite the entrance steps, is a toilet cubicle, although the door is missing. At the opposite end of the shelter, the second entrance remains slabbed over.

SITE ASSESSMENT:
Unlike the six shelters recorded at TL 9993 2429, these two examples have clearly had recent usage - either modified to provide an alternative function or as storage facilities. As such, they will have lost much of their integrity as World War Two monuments.
