Full Description
The original air raid shelter was built between 1939 and 1945 by the War Department, under the
auspices of the Defence of The Realm Act 1914. After World War 2 Ovington CC (OCC) and Alliance Cricket Club
(ACC) shared the use of the building as a changing room until OCC took it over completely when
ACC moved to a new home at Clifton Without.
In 1991 OCC extended the building to the west to create a veranda and to cover the whole building with a pitched roof.
