Report - Barry Air Raid Shelter - Wales - March 14

[Lenston]

The Visit

I believe this is one of only two remaining air raid shelters left in Barry, after a bit of searching i found that even the locals had not heard of this shelter so it was good to point some local historians to this place to get it documented. Worth getting it documented on here i think.
Not much left inside but it still has the original doors and what looks like some original benches and an old toilet, i think it was once underneath a large building which has long gone.

Nice find that is mate. Like you say, it's probably an industrial relic, would be good to know what was previously there.

Top stuff! I have a feeling we were rather close to this on our last Welsh explore, but seeing as we weren't looking for it we didn't find it! nice pics either way :P
