I know this is slightly different,but I can remember my Grandparents having an air raid shelter in their garden in Fir lane,after the war the earth around it was removed and it became the garden "tin" shed

Exactly the same happened with my grandparents.  My grandfather dug up the air raid shelter at the end of the garden and for around 40 years it was used as a garden shed!  It was only after he died in 1990 that the shed was replaced with a more modern wooden structure. 

Photo attached shows a rather more youthful 'me' back in 1985 (I think) with my father, in front of the shed/air raid shelter.
