Monument record MDR13685 - Air raid shelters, Midland Street, Long Eaton

There are two surviving air raid shelters on Midland Street, built for the LMS Railway Co's employees at Toton yard. The shelters are probably constructed from prefabricated concrete sections made at Stanton.

Mr Reedman concludes that the LMS Railway must have sourced its shelters from a single supplier, as a similar shelter survives in a railway location in north London. (2)
