12. Visit the Bunker (16 Sept@1300)

Visit the WWII Air Raid Precaution Building, which was used as a headquarters for various organisations during the Second World War. Known locally as the ‘Bunker’, this building is currently used by the Historical Diving Society to store items usually held in The Diving Museum (which is closed for major renovations). It also holds a paper archive of Diving History. Despite being an austere structure, the grounds are managed as a wildlife-friendly area, complete with a bug hotel. You’ll be able to see an original Anderson Shelter and hear a short talk about its history. Then you’ll be taken underground into The Bunker building and discover how it was used by Air Raid Precaution personnel to record bomb damage and warn locals of air raids.
