Big thanks to Coopsleeds and his son :elvis

This enormous shelter is situated in Gotts Park in Leeds. It has five bays all interlinked with dual escape routes. Each bay has a main entrance and a warden point with drinking water fountain. The toilets were situated in each corner and are seperated into "women and children" and "males"

The rest of the shelter is stripped but is in remarkable condition given the age of the place. No vandalism of any kind and a great local explore.
