Erected during the Second World War, at the edge of a small grassy area on the north side of Graig Park Road, between Graig Park Parade and Graig Park Villas. The doors and windows of this single-storey building (15 metres long and 6 metres wide) are all bricked up in 2016. Although this building would be unlikely to survive a direct hit, it was a safer place to be during a bombing raid than adjacent houses. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2858486 to another view.
