Sutton Green Air Raid Shelters (re-)Discovered

An interesting snippet from the BBC. They report that council workers in Sutton have (quite literally) stumbled across the remains of communal air raid shelters on Sutton Green after a partial collapse of the buried roof.

See full story at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/london/hi/people_and_places/history/newsid_8812000/8812421.stm

This includes a nice AP showing the structure outlined in dry weather.

If anyone has any photos or recollections of this structure then they are asked to contact Kath Shawcross of Sutton's Archive Collection on 020 8770 4745.
