Six of us Leicester lot recently went and took a look at this WW2 air raid shelter in Leicester. It was built for the use of a school, but is surprisingly large with loads of sections going off all over the place. Structually it is still in very sound condition, most of the concrete is undamaged and almost as fresh as the day it was made. The various sections were named after London streets and there was also plenty of old graffiti around. Afraid the pics are not that brilliant as only had a crappy compact on me, an enjoyable explore anyway.
One section of the shelter
Looking up one of the original entrances
Notice
Remains of a hand cranked ventilation fan below an air shaft
Section of the shelter with other passageways leading off
One section in particular was full of this kind of graff lol
