ANDERSON SHELTERS Everybody was expecting that there would be enormous casualties if the Germans dropped bombs on British cities. Trenches were dug in the public parks and some street shelters were built, but a better way of protecting ordinary families was needed. A shelter was designed which could be put in peoples’ gardens. It was a sort of tunnel, made from curve corrugated-iron sheets which had to be bolted together. There was a flat steel plate at each end, with an opening in one of them for a door. The Anderson shelter had to be partially buried. First a hole, at least one metre deep had to be dug and the shelter fitted together inside it. Then the roof was supposed to be covered with about half a meter of soil. The shelters were issued free to those on low incomes, and over two million were put up, starting in 1938. They could withstand almost anything except a direct hit and they probably saved many lives. There were serious drawbacks however. The worst was that they tended to fill up with water and there was no light or heating. People tried to make them more comfortable by putting in a floor and building bunks inside, but they were always cold and damp.
