There were four main types of shelters during the blitz. The earliest versions were called Morrison shelters, which were rectangular shaped and made of very heavy steel. Families sometimes used their Morrison shelter as a table in their living rooms.

The second type of shelter made was called an Anderson shelter. These were built outside in peoples' gardens. They were built into the ground and the tops were covered with soil. Some people grew vegetables on top of their shelters.

Another type of shelter was a public shelter, these were used for people who lived in flats and by people at work. The public shelters weren't liked by citizens.

Finally, in London the underground railway stations were used as shelters, as they were very deep. Thousands of people slept on the platforms every night.
