Air Raid Shelter

A large underground air raid shelter was built on the roundabout on Studfall Avenue near the Open Hearth pub. I'm not sure the shelter was ever used. When playing on it with friends I used a very mild swear word. I was overheard by a lady who knew my parents. She threatened to tell my parents. She didn't, but as a ten year old I had a pretty worrying day or two. Boyhood was wonderful. We were given a huge amount of freedom.
