A Morrison Shelter was issued to people who didn't have a garden and therefore couldn't use an Anderson shelter. It was a protective cage that could be assembled inside a house and would protect from falling masonry etc. but not from a direct hit.

There were two types of shelter available for home use during World War 2. The Anderson shelter was supplied to people who had a back garden.
