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 remains mostly inplace however shows significant wear, most of the walls have collapsed in places and the remaining brickwork is in poor condition. The shelter is surrounded by dense vegetation and has several trees growing in and around it making access difficult. Internally the shelter appears mostly open but again shows significant wear, difficulty of access prevented further condition assessment.

Condition described as poor - Incomplete and/or heavily damaged, original structure/form is interpretable but not obvious.

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