Description: | Bill Brandt took this photo of a garage in Pimlico that became a makeshift shelter during the Blitz. Many stores and businesses across London opened up their cellars and basements for the public.
Thousands of sandbags were used to strengthen shelters. Volunteers including children made them from sand and soil excavated from around London. Hampstead Heath was a significant source. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Photograph courtesy of the Imperial War Museum, London | Subjects: | Public services London at War | Temporal: | 1940 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
