It's great to see this as I recall my Dad telling me about these shelters on walks through the Park in the early 1960's.
I can only hope the bureacrats and NIMBYs come to their senses. History is not always the cuddly mechandising driven activity necessarily used to support tourism, there is a strong place for relevant local hard history. I would hope this type of thing could support the National Curriculum but no doubt the Risk Assessment would prove too challenging in a litigious time!
You need to impress Plymouth city council to open some of the shelters and wartime sites. Allow the money grant to be used for the education and interest of residents and visitors, which is not happening.
I have seen so much destuction of plymouths heritage buildings, naval sites, valleys, trees etc.
I'm so glad that you took this video. It is proof that Chris Coldwell from Plymouth City Council was lying when he said that they were filling in the shelter because there was nothing of importance down there. Well done.
PCC are very frustrating. Surely these places are of historical interest for preservation? If they have destroyed this one, where else are ther shelters undisturbed???? Is there anything left of the one that got a direct hit on north hill? I also remember family talking of a public shelter in greenbank area?
discusting they want to distory a piece of history!!
