Over 3 million of these small iron shelters were erected in England before and during World War 2. They were distributed free to low income families and for a nominal fee to those that had a higher income. They were about 6 feet high, 4 1/2 feet wide and 6 1/2 feet long. They were designed to buried four feet deep and have earth piled over them. After the war, they were reclaimed for scrap metal. Some are still used, having been dug up and re-purposed as garden sheds.
