Abstract: |
A programme of historic building recording was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust on an air-raid shelter at the former Brentwood Police Station, London Road, Brentwood, Essex in May 2019. The shelter is a semi-sunken rectangular concrete structure covered with an earth bank. Located directly adjacent to La Plata House, it was clearly intended to provide shelter to the police officers accommodated there. Although it wouldn't have survived a direct hit, it would have shielded its occupants from any flying debris or shrapnel resulting from the intensive bombing Brentwood received during World War II. |
