Video of Plymouth air raid shelter

This is quite an interesting video of the interior of the Portland Square shelter in Plymouth. As the newspaper site says, over 70 people were killed when part of this shelter suffered a direct hit (this part obviously isn't filmed). The video has a high pitched alarm noise in the background which may be distracting, or add to the atmosphere, depending on your point of view!

It's rather spooky looking isn't? I can imagine a ghost or two wandering around those tunnels. And you're right about that siren thingy, I had to turn my speaker off.

How badly damaged was it? And was it repaired? I didn't watch the whole thing, I skiped bits so I maybe I missed some, but I didn't see any damage.

Nice link.
