Disused air-raid shelter, Dilton, New Forest
Disused air-raid shelter, Dilton, New Forest
This shelter is amongst silver birch trees, just to the west of the western boundary of Beaulieu Heath. It is a Stanton type shelter, with a perpendicular brick entrance. It would once have had earth piled up against its curved sides - some of that soil remains as well as a silver birch that has grown right up against the side of the shelter. This is the northernmost one of a pair on the edge of what was the Beaulieu Heath airfield during the latter parts of the Second World War.
