People needed an Anderson air raid shelter during World War II to protect themselves from enemy air raids, particularly from bombings. These shelters were designed to be constructed in backyards, providing families with a safe space to take cover during attacks. Made of corrugated steel, they could withstand bomb blasts and were crucial for civilian safety as cities faced increased aerial bombardment. The government encouraged their use to minimize casualties and provide a sense of security to the public.
About 1.5 million Anderson shelters were distributed by the 'Air Raid Precautions' government unit.

They were shelters either underground or in your house or outside in your front or back garden. They were mostly made out of corrugated metal or iron for the roofs and usually metal for the walls and there were wooden stools/ seats/ bench's etc.. . and if a air raid went off they would probably stay in for a few hours.
