Anderson and Morrison shelter
there where two air raid shelters one was the Morrison shelter which looked like a table the other was the Anderson shelter which was underground
In Britain, like everyone else, they went down to the air-raid shelters (usually the Underground railway stations), if they lived in the city. In the suburbs, they went into so-called Anderson shelters dug into backyards.
Air raid shelters were widely used in various countries during World War II, particularly in Britain, Germany, and Japan, to protect civilians from aerial bombardments. In the UK, many urban areas constructed public shelters, such as the London Underground stations and Anderson shelters in backyards. In Germany, citizens utilized bunkers and reinforced structures to shield themselves from Allied bombing raids. These shelters played a crucial role in mitigating casualties during the extensive air campaigns of the war.
During World War I, air raid shelters were not widely used or developed, as aerial bombardment was not as prevalent as in World War II. While some cities experienced bombings, particularly from zeppelins and later aircraft, the concept of dedicated air raid shelters was not fully realized until the following conflict. Instead, many people sought refuge in basements or other sturdy structures during air raids. The focus during WWI was primarily on trench warfare and ground battles rather than aerial threats.
Public shelters were provided at Tilbury Riverside Station, on the Anchor Field and in Feenan Highway
The two types of air raid shelters are called the Anderson shelter and the Morrison shelter
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.

yes!
Rarely but yes some air raid shelters during the blitz did have carpets. There were many types of shelters in WW2 such as the Anderson and Morrison shelters but many shelters included basements and even rail way tubes. Though carpets were never used in the rail way tubes a few private shelters did include carpet however most were basic.
The Anderson Shelter was the first shelter that was given in World War 2 but i don't really remember the other air raid shelter
Anderson shelters, air raid shelters built for the poor, were introduced in 1938, just prior to the start of World War II. lol!
they hid in air raid shelters
