Fowler Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I was wondering if anyone could help me. When i was younger we lived on foxhill avenue in the masonettes. To the side of ours was a big field. Unsure of the name. I remember that there used to be some sort of bunker in that field. Does anyone else remember this? What was it? Please someone tell me they remember this as i'm starting to think i'm mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yes your right. There was (and still is) an air raid shelter in the fields just off of Midhurst Road. Don't know if you can still get to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowler Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Does anyone know any details of this shelter? Does anyone have any pics or did anyone go down it? Would also be interested if people knew when it was built etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feederfil Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I think you will find that this mound is an underground reservoir and not an air raid shelter.It used to be fenced off but you can now climb onto it,the view from the top is very good!!

We used to make a "Tarzan Swing" on the pylon next to it when we were kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if it's an underground Res or a Shelter? Can you shed any light on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
