Shelter from the Storm

Digging in some school grounds in north London has uncovered an old WW2 air raid shelter.

The south side of the Carnegie Library in Hammersmith still has the painted white arrow indicating the direction of their 65 year old shelter.

Earlier this week, I came up the escalator at St. Paul's and realised how deep it was. So safe from bombs raining down but not if the device is carried by a human. Then you want to be topside.

When my dad would park the car, he'd turn off the engine and say "let's dismount and fight on foot".

Ignore the cacophony. Onwards, into the battle.
