Abstract: |
An archaeological salvage record was undertaken in June 2007 of a Second World War air raid shelter at Frickley Colliery, South Elmsall, West Yorkshire (NGR SE 4657 0994), by White Young Green Archaeology. This was undertaken following, and was informed by a previous desk-based assessment of the colliery site conducted by Oxford Archaeology North in 2003. It was also informed by an archaeological fabric survey conducted by Oxford Archaeology North in 2004 and a structural survey conducted by Carl Bro in 2003. The purpose of the salvage record was to conduct a detailed photographic record of the shelter to supplement the record created during the OAN fabric survey and to ascertain the presence or absence of further fixtures and fittings and graffiti, prior to the shelters destruction. Due to the unsafe nature of the tunnels only a partial visual inspection was afforded during the previous fabric survey and it was therefore recommended that a further record be made of the shelter to check for previously unrecorded features that may be present and to allow for the mapping of the ends of the tunnels in the north western part of the complex to be undertaken. |
