A group of WW II air-raid shelters were situated immediately inside the fence at the W end of the E block of Ferranti's. Five remained until 2000-1, one group of three to the S of the gate a further two to the N. They were removed when the factory was rebuilt between 2001-2002. The air-raid shelters were for factory workers and appear to be of the 'double 50 person' type.
