Second World War air raid shelters are visible as structures and earthworks on air photographs. Remains of an air raid shelter in Burleigh Garth were recorded during an archaeological evaluation in 2013. The remains related to subterranean or partially subterranean corridors 1.1m wide which had concrete walls constructed from reinforced panels with brick blast walls constructed within them. The main elements of the air raid shelter were not dug into the ground by a great degree but rather cut through the remains of earlier terraced housing.
