Middlesbrough hidden gem

[Reich Crispies]

In a back street in Middlesbrough town centre. I have lived here most of my life, but just discovered it!

[Hoffman Grink]

OOOOh and there's me thinking you meant Ms Stockdale!

Nice find.

Is the shelter still there, or just the sign?

[Reich Crispies]

The wall is at the rear of some town centre shops.
I asked in the shop (believe it or not its "Past times") and they let me look inside. Its actually the cellars underneath.

Nice find
I managed to "aquire" a metal ARP plaque from a building in Coventry some years back when i
used to work as a bricklayer, this sign was attatched to a small out building which was being
demolished, i also grabbed an ARP helmet as well which was hanging on the wall, i was
horiffied to see it was all being slung in a skip, there was a gasmask in a bag as well but was
rotten so was binned, i will post some pics when i get time

Interseting find.Ive been in the space under Clapham Common, which became a massive archive facility, ! By the way 'Underground London'is a fantastic book! Highly recommended!

As an aside, when we used to do tree work( I used to work with one of the inner London councils as an arborist) , we regularly would encounter shrapnel in the trees.
