During the Blitz, civilians in the UK sought shelter primarily in underground stations, public shelters, and private basements to protect themselves from German bombing raids. Many people also constructed makeshift shelters in their backyards, such as the Anderson shelters, which were made of corrugated steel and designed to withstand bomb blasts. The government encouraged the use of these shelters to minimize casualties during the air raids.
