Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief and historic building survey was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at the air-raid shelter located on the Regent College campus, Regent Road, Leicester between the 1st and 22nd of March 2013. The survey studied a large Second World War air-raid shelter constructed in 1940 for the use of pupils at the former Wyggeston Girls School. The shelter is a typical example of a standardised shelter design made using a cut and cover method with pre-cast concrete roof and wall panels. Planning permission has been granted by Leicester City Council for the development of the school playing fields and construction of a new medical teaching building for the University of Leicester. The proposal requires the almost complete demolition of the air-raid shelter in advance of the development work. |
