A suspected World War Two air raid shelter has been discovered during building work in Filey.
Town councillor Mike Cockerill has shared images of the flooded underground structure, which appears to be brick-built, and the rusted helmet and gas mask he found inside. The exact location of the shelter is being with-held to prevent trespassers, but Filey Town Council have informed North Yorkshire Council, the lead planning and conservation authority, about the find.
'The date the building above was built might help with identifying what it is along with more photographs of its construction. Cellars like this are often found when work is carried out around buildings. Could be a coal cellar. I think Filey’s ARP post was somewhere off West Avenue, so if it’s in that area it could be ARP-related if it's a shelter. 'Brooklands is where the main gas decontamination blocks are along with a couple on West Ave.
