Visiting the Cardiff Castle

During our visit to the UK, we were asked different tasks form our different teacher. When we were on our tour to the Cardiff Castle we were asked to find the shelters form the WW2. Apart form that we should gather information and take as many photos as we could. I worked with Olivia Converti

Here is our task:

The war time shelters in the Cardiff Castle

Where are they located inside the castle?

Few people realise that within the walls of the Castle are tunnels – tunnels which came into their own as air-raid shelters during the Second World War. It was estimated that more than 1800 people could take shelter within the walls and when the sirens sounded, people who lived and worked in the city would rush to the shelters. Special ramps were built so that people could gain access into the walls quickly. Within the walls there were dormitories with bunks, kitchens, toilets and first aid posts.

Entering the shelters!!!

On the outbreak of World War in 1939, Britain prepared for air raids, and Cardiff Corporation aproached Lord Bute, owner of the castle, asking if he would allow the strong outer walls of the site to be used as bomb shelters. Bute agreed, and these tunnels were divided off into eight large shelters, allowing them to accommodate hundreds of people The exterior walls were broken through, and long wooden ramps gave quick access during an emergency, Inside, civilians sometimes slept in the cold and damp shelters, which also containes an air raid warden’s post, a small canteen and a sleep bay.
