Victorian dog privvy.

 

[Rooster]

Am trying to remeber. They have one in the Manchester imperial war museum. It has a couple of seats inside. Something like a bomb proof hut for fire fighters. Seem to remember it hangs from something.

Used to play in them when a wee boy on Clydeside. My pal got locked in one and it took the polis all day to find him. Its a diving bell.
Alternatively- it might be one of those street shelters from WW2 to protect you from shrapnel - they were very similar..

Answer has already been given. It's a 'Consol Shelter' used by firewatchers in WWII, not a diving bell

Sorry VicS. I now have a file called '1940' of 'an unknown type'. What do I open it with?

 

[VicS]

I just clicked the "open" button and it opened in Windows Picture Gallery.

It's a jpg file so any picture program I would have thought from Paint onwards.

If you double click on the file doesn't it automatically open in something.

Dunno don't understand these computery things

Here you go

Call that a Shelter?? My maternal Granddad was a Sapper in WW1 and a spiderman builder afterwards.

Come the WWII, his "Anderson" in the backyard was so good, after the whole rest of Coutts Road was bombed flat, and Mum was bombed out for the first time (of 3), guess whose Andy was still standing in a sea of rubble and was used as a CP by the ARP, while we moved nearer the Grand Union Canal to give Jerry a better aiming point the next two times!
