Form of Evidence
Demolished Building
Description
Flat-roofed, single-storied block resembling a series of air-raid shelters. However, a series of wooden casement windows on the east and doorways both in the south end and in the east side of a small annexe at the north end suggest that it did not function as an air-raid shelter. Demolished July 2010 with the exception of its rear wall. Its complete removal would have compromised the stability of the ramp wall behind it (HER16099).
