Letter to the editor: I write in reference to Alex Masson’s recent letter concerning the air raid shelter in their back garden (Long wait for builders, News Shopper, September 18).
Penge was the most bombed area for its size.
The shelter should be listed and used to show pupils how their grandparents lived. There is not much left of World War II in this borough today. I know of three other air raid shelters in private gardens and one tank trap on railway land. Two of the last bomb sites have been built on in the past year.
The shelter is part of our history, as is Rochester Castle and the Tower of London.
A SHEPPECK, Bromley
