Full Description

Location of a Stanton shelter recorded by the Pillbox Study Group.

Assessed and visited February 2023 by York University student Joseph Keeley as part of Raids Over York Project. Height 140cm, width 936cm and length/depth 901cm.

This shelter is mostly intact, walls are still standing however they show signs of significant environmental wear to a lot of the bricks. The shelter is overgrown and surrounded by thick vegetation making access difficult. The interior looks somewhat clear and intact however due to surrounding environment it was difficult to produce a clearer condition report of the interior.

Condition described as medium - mostly complete, some damage to the structure but original form still recognisable.

Images attached to record taken February 2023 by student Joseph Keeley (York University).
