Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted a building investigation and photographic record of the air raid precautions shelter at St Christopher's First School, Temple Cowley, Oxford. The Air Raid Precautions (ARP) act was introduced in 1937. The act placed local government under obligation to provide shelter and anti-gas precautions. The shelter at St Christopher's First School is of the trench variety and was laid out in a zigzag formation in order to reduce the effects of blast. The topography within which the shelter is situated has been modified however the form of the shelter remains largely unchanged. The only substantial alteration to the building fabric was the addition of the extension which resulted in a new doorway and large opening for the bar facility and the creation of the large double sliding door. |
