What were World War 2 air raid shelters made out of?
There were various types of shelter constructed. The most popular was the Anderson shelter which consisted of curved sections of corrugated tin bolted together and half buried. The top was covered with a thick layer of earth. They were very strong but couldn't stand a direct hit. Larger shelters were often constructed from concrete and brick though deep shelters used at military sites along the south coast were dug from the chalk cliffs and then lined with corrugated tin.
