ROAD OF REMEMBRANCE BUNKER

This bunker complex has two entrances, which are both now sealed. Most of the complex is in pretty good condition. It consists of various sized rooms, and it is clear to see that this complex was more than just an air raid shelter. Wooden frames show partitioned areas within rooms, and there is a large area, above the main bunker, that was used to filter air taken into the complex.

Other Sites in the Area:

This is one of the main rooms of the complex. A few scraps of posters are still visible on the far wall.

RD. OF REMEMBRANCE BUNKER

Toilet area, with the frame for a sink still on the wall.

This is the other main room, very similar to the first in size and layout.

Above the main complex is another room, used for filtration. The threat of gas attacks was taken very seriously and these cylinders would have contained the chemicals through which air taken from outside could have been filtered out to eliminate the possibility of gas contamination in the bunker.

Electrical system in the filtration room.

Another room off the main passageway. The wooden frame partitioned that area of the room off, and had it's own ventilation duct.

The writing can still be made out. On this poster, "Security saves lives" and "because nobody talked" are quite clear.
