School's Air Raid Shelter Saved from Demolition 

 

 

Kingswinford & Stourbridge and Dudley Lions Club have recently joined forces in the name of education. A primary school in Colleygate, Halesowen have an air raid shelter in the school grounds. This was saved from demolition when the school was refurbished and it was decided that it would be restored to be used by the children during history projects. Through the local media the school sent out a plea for wooden benches to be used in the shelter, the two Lions Clubs came to the rescue and on 10th March a joint presentation was made of 4 benches. The Deputy Head said that they also had a tape of the air raid sirens and other sound effects which would be installed in the shelter so that the children would be able to experience what former pupils had encountered.
