Air Raid Shelters On Lower Gardiner Street, 1940s. I recorded some good stories of people living in the Dublin tenements during WW2. One man told me how he got locked up in prison for breaking a lock on an air raid shelter during a air raid alert.
Some flats complexes built 1939/ 40s had underground air raid shelters. Like St Mary’s Mansions on Railway Street are still there. I ran a youth club in that one, they are massive and go right around the complex. The flats were built after the knocking down of the houses of “Monto”….

Would have been a great excuse to start the Metro North then, to double as air raid shelters
