A “shelter” was an underground room where civilians would go when a bomb went off in their country during World War II.
A loud air-raid siren would be sent out when German bombers were approaching and Air Raid Precaution (ARP) Wardens would help people to take cover in an Air Raid shelter until the “all clear” was given. Shelters were given free to poor people. Men who earned more than £5 a week could buy one for £7.
