Full Description

Contemporary records state “Anderson Shelter for storage of ammunition. Land adjoining buildings S of Clovers Mill. Map ref. 506517”. (Mil.Ed.) <1> With no other information it is not known whether this location refers to the yard immediately S of Dedham Mill or the field alongside it. With nothing positive on 1960 aerial photographs, the yard is thought to be the most likely. In 2006, this has been completely redeveloped and is now the private entrance gardens by residential apartments.<2>
