AIR RAID SHELTER

Whilst Stuart Bedford was harvesting sugar beet on his land on the airfield, the back wheel of the harvester dropped. A flat tyre they thought, but no, the back wheel had gone in an old air raid shelter,

	The land was very wet and full of clay which makes the soil heavy, with the harvester going over the top of the shelter it decided to give way and show it's self after 30 years in the dark.
	The small hole had been made but the sugar beet harvester's back wheel
	As you go down the ladder there was a brick wall, the other side of the brick wall had also collapsed.
	A close up of the main entrance,

	The main entrance to the air raid shelter, 30 years ago Bill Bedford filled the entrance with rocks and earth so he could farm the land.
	Dan Bedford, (Stuarts son) Looking to see what is the other side of brick wall.

This hole is right next to the bomb stores about a 2 minute walk

My thanks go out to Stuart Bedford for letting me take pictures before he filled the old air raid shelter back in. Plus many thanks to Dan Bedford for telling me of his find.
