The Air Raid Shelters under the DJS playground lay undiscovered for 35 years until the 1980’s and since then have vary rarely been opened up to the local community. FODJ and Mr Button decided to change all that by revitalising the shelters for the local community and to aid children’s learning.
The Take Shelter events celebrate the amazing history of DJS during the war years.Whilst the tours are taking place underground we will be hosting 1940s themed stalls and activities in the playground which will include a live music act each Saturday . To make the events a success we need parents to support us by volunteering to help with the following stalls and activities:
