 		 We had a bad night’s sleep

Madge remembers…

When we received our Anderson shelter my father worked really hard in digging a hole behind the shed. However we got up the next day to find that it was full of water. He persevered and even made seats from railway sleepers but it was still horrible - cold, damp, and smelly with just the light of a candle to see by.

From Leaving the Village by Sue Satterthwaite - Madge’s Wartime Memories of Aldridge
