by September, half a million shelters had been installed in British gardens.

In 1939 £7.15 MILLION were distributed.
In 1939, there were 1,506 Anderson shelters constructed in the United Kingdom. These air raid shelters were designed for use during World War II to protect civilians from bombings. The shelters were named after Sir John Anderson, who was the Minister of Home Security at the time. Each shelter could accommodate several people and was made from corrugated steel and earth.
Anderson shelters were outside and Morrison shelters were inside.
The Anderson shelters were desifned in 1938 by William Paterson and Oscar Carl.

The Anderson shelter was designed in 1938 and distribution began in February 1939. By the start of the war over 150,000 had been provided. The shelters were primitive but extremely effective and took their name from the government minister responsible for overseeing the project - Sir John Anderson. Some shelters have survived to the present day and are used as garden sheds. see the attached article for some very useful information on various types of shelters. - I Warner
Anderson shelters were bomb shelters so if they broke easily they wouldn't be much help in protecting people from bombs!!
i think the Morrison shelter was built under a table with metal all around
Anderson shelters, air raid shelters built for the poor, were introduced in 1938, just prior to the start of World War II. lol!
