What does air raid shelter mean?
An air raid shelter is an underground shelter from bombing. During the last war the sirens would go off to tell people the German bombers were coming and they would all grab their gas masks and the children and rush to the nearest air raid shelter. This might be a home made one in the garden or one made by the council in the local park or an underground railway station or, in the case of Stockport near Manchester, caves dug out of the rock under the town.

How scary was it when a air raid siren went off?
as I understand from my parents who were working in London at the time of WW2 before my father went to war...it was very scary, because when you came out of the shelter, you did not know if your home was still there or flattened.
Why did people hide in air raid shelters?
Becuase during WW2, there was a lot of threat from bombs which could fall on houses and towns. Air raid shelters were built as underground rooms in back gardens on in tube stations all over the country so that when the air raid siren went off, signalling bombs, people could hide underground, where they would be much safer. If someone was in a house when a bomb fell, when the house would collapse on them it would possibly cause more damadge than if they were underground, beneath a shelter which was lightweight and wouldn't hurt you if it collapsed. People then would only be killed in the bomb landed directly on op of the air shelter, which was rather unlikely.

How did people know when air raids were going to happen?
Before an air raid began two warnings were sounded - amber (yellow), then red alert. When it was safe to leave air raid shelters and walk about an 'all clear' signal was sounded.They were alerted by the sound of the sirens, which are used nowadays as signals to tell factory-workers that their shift is finished.
