What were Anderson shelters made of?
Anderson shelters were small air raid shelters sold to people in Britain very cheaply to assemble in their backyard. They were basically 6-8 pieces of corrugated steel sheet that made a small hut when assembled. They were supposed to dig a small hole for the floor area and then build the shelter in it and cover it with earth from the hole. They held about 6 people sitting on benches either side.

How did people in British towns cope with the bombing during World War 2?
The Brits had prepared for the Blitz. They had air raid wardens and home guards to help get people into bomb shelters in town. Families had put up Anderson Shelters or Morrison Shelters. They had practiced getting to their home shelters. When the bombing did occur they would rush to get to the bomb shelters once the sirens went off. The people were scared but once they got together in the large shelters they would sing, entertain one another, play games and do all they could to soothe the scared, crying children. The people in their homes would play games, read books to the kids and sing songs too. They would sleep in the shelters waiting for morning. Once morning arrived they would have to go home to clean up and go to work. No one got in trouble for being late to work but sometimes it gave some of the other employees a scare when someone was late or did not show up. If anyone brought food they would pass it around to anyone who had missed their dinner. They were tough and they "took it". They lost homes, belongings and loved ones. The ones who still had homes would take in those who had lost homes. Some parents allowed their children to be evacuated during the blitz. The children stayed with people in safer areas. It was hard on the kids and parents who missed each other fiercely.
