I remember living on Luther Steet in the WestEnd of Leicester and the Italians and Germans took down the shelters when they were no longer needed.
We never actually used these shelters - we had a cellar in our Grandma's house.
I did go into one of the shelters though for a look round and I remember they were dark and smelly and I wouldn't imagine anyone would want to use them unless they had to.
When they were taken down the brick and concrete was removed and left behind where the cobbled streets they had been built on.
Outside Shaftesbury Road School in Ridgley Street they had a place where all the prisoners of war went for their lunch.
There were tents and some of them cooked whilst the others worked.
I remember talking to some of these people.
