Right no actuall history i can find on the shelter itself but here's a bit of history on the grounds its in..

Pierremont Park has a hall and associated gardens of unknown size dating from 1785. The site was purchased by the district council for council use in 1927. The gardens include specimen trees, a fountain and a pergola

The shelter has 2 different types of construction and is only about 15 foot underground so a direct hit wouldn't of been much protection as far as i can see..its in use for the above mentioned gardens as it houses a pump for their fountain..it is locked tight and the main entrance is boarded up as well as padlocked!!

Visited with obscruity ,fortknox0, and uncle bulgaria and was a good little explore..right on with the pics!

Seems strange that some of the tunnells are poured concrete and other sections are PRC sections, like a garage. Later additions?
Is that a watermark I see, or has someone been busy with the pen?

Just chalk matey ,and someone somewhere else mentioned that ,name in question was chalked in over a year ago..that man gets about!! ;)and as for later addditions really wouldnt know cant find a scrap of actuall history
