Air Raid Shelter just off Stockarth Lane

Although 'abandoned' this shelter is in fair condition, including some inner walls visible from the entrance (but not in the picture). Probably used for shelter by farm workers working in fields. Stockarth Lane is not far from where the South Yorkshire Asylum (latterly Middlewood Hospital) was located, so the shelter may be associated with that, as many wounded soldiers were billeted there during WW2. A second shelter in Stockarth Lane is also featured, see Image
