Description: | For the duration of the Second World War small, two-person air-raid shelters were installed throughout London Underground. This allowed staff to stay at their posts during raids, and helped things to get back to normal more quickly once the danger had passed.
The shelters were known as bell shelters because of their shape. Inside were two small seats and a table.
This shelter was photographed at St James's Park station where it had been installed two months before the start of the war. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | London at War | Temporal: | 27 Jul 1939 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
