At that time you would have played games like cards, the warnings would have sounded at you would be sitting in a small shelter, trying to take your mind off the fact that the blitz was happening.
You would bring a suitcase with clothes food something to entertain you a spare blanket for if you get cold .Drinks for if you get thirsty. You would also bring a gas mask, a torch, and a radio so you knew what was going on.
An Anderson shelter is something you would have in your garden but a Morrison shelter is something that is public so everyone could use it..... Correction..A Morrison shelter was a metal frame that could be self erected inside your own home. The purpose was to protect your family from falling masonry etc. Public shelters were often in underground stations, church halls and the like. They were signified by a large white letter 'S' on a black background.
They were designed to take up to 6 people but certainly many more could fit inside when the need arose. At 4 ft 6 in by 6 ft 6 in, you could probably squeeze about 18 people in at once if need be.
Air raid shelters were built specifically to serve as protection against enemy air raids. However, pre-existing edifices designed for other functions, such as underground stations (tube or subway stations), tunnels, or cellars in houses, basements in larger establishments, and railway arches, were also utilised. These structures, being below ground or almost so, and being especially strengthened to support the weight of the buildings above them, were therefore particularly suitable to safeguard people during air raids. A commonly used home made shelter was known as the Anderson shelter which would be built with beds, in the garden to protect from air raids.
how they decorated world war 2 Andersonthey decorated their Anderson shelter as nice as the could they would get old carpet to put on the floor they would have a box as a table and a chair to sit on sometimes the would have a picture frame on the wall. They also put potted flowers on their cardboard table. they also stayed in Morrison shelters.

In your back garden.
1 meter

Because an Anderson Shelter was half buried in the ground, the atmosphere inside would have been damp and smelly and in the winter would have been bitterly cold.

I'm unfamiliar with would war 1 let alone number too
well the two main types would be the Anderson shelter ( a small house shaped structure made of corrugated iron ) and the Morrison shelter ( a 2 mtr by 4 ft by 2 ft for those who didn't like sleeping out side during the day its a table/bench and by night its a structure with crossed iron wire and wood edges ) the people who cant afford these items would sleep in the public shelters these would mostly be underground train stations.
