ASHLEY ROAD AIR RAID SHELTER, EPSOM
Epsom air raid shelter is still in very good condition, with the exception of a lot of graffiti in the first two side rooms. There are a lot of features in the shelter, and the purposes of some of these features is still open to conjecture. I feel that the entrance tunnel was built before the second world war; the curved brickwork, especially on the ceiling, is normally found on Victorian structures. Going further into the shelter, the walls soon give way to corrugated iron and concrete.
