Restored WW2 bunker reopens for Heritage Open Days

A World War Two bunker restored by community groups in Barton upon Humber is open to visitors for the first time in five years this weekend.

Hidden in the grounds of Options Applegate House, a centre providing support for autistic adults, the former air raid shelter is open to visitors as part of Heritage Open Days.

Complete with authentic artefacts from the Wilderspin National School Museum, volunteers said the experience offered a real insight into what it might have been like to take shelter during an air raid.

The land housing the bunker is also home to a rare air raid warden's office and volunteer co-ordinator Caroline Edwards said she was keen to co-curate an immersive museum so it could be opened alongside the shelter.

The attraction on Holydyke will be welcoming visitors on Sunday 15 September from 10:00 to 15:00 BST.
