An anderson shelter was a small metal structure(usually made of corrugated metal) that was designed to protect people from bombs in world war two. They were not effective against direct bomb hits.
I wasn't born when World War 2 was on, but i think my grandpa had an Anderson Shelter.

The Anderson Shelter And The Morrison Shelter
Because the man who invented the Anderson shelter his surname was Anderson its just the same as the Morrison shelter too!!!
An Anderson shelter was called an Anderson shelter because the person that invented them, his second name was Anderson. Same with a Morrison shelter really.
The Anderson Shelter was the first shelter that was given in World War 2 but i don't really remember the other air raid shelter
Anderson and Morrison shelter
The Anderson Shelter was designed by William Paterson and Oscar Carl Kerrison in 1938. It was named after Sir John Anderson, who was responsible for air raid precautions during World War II, and it was Anderson who initiated the development of the shelter.
Anderson shelters were built to protect people from air raids during World War II. They were built strong to protect those inside.
Any Anderson air-raid shelters (still surviving from the second World War) is probably used as a garden shed nowadays.
