Abstract:		 A fabric survey was undertaken in April and June 2004 of a Second World War air raid shelter at Frickley Colliery, South Elmsall, West Yorkshire (NGR SE 4657 0994), by Oxford Archaeology North (OA North). This was undertaken following, and was informed by, a desk-based assessment of the colliery site (OA North 2003) and its associated air raid shelter, in response to a planning proposal by The Environment Practice (TEP) for the landscaping and enhancement of the derelict industrial site. The Frickley Colliery air raid shelter is of both local and regional importance, and apart from the damage sustained during the present programme of development on this site, and the loss of the south-eastern section, it is in relatively good condition. However, given the rapid manner of its construction and the fact that it has been part flooded for extended periods in the past, it is recognised that some sections of tunnel have the potential for collapse; for this reason there are concerns about the safety of the complex. It has therefore been agreed that part of the complex will be demolished to allow for the residential development, and that the south-eastern section will be retained, subject to sufficient engineering works to make the tunnels safe. It is recommended that an archaeological watching brief be undertaken during any demolition, which would also allow for the mapping of the ends of the tunnels in the north-western part of the complex should any remains survive at tunnel base level.
