Aluminium underground air raid shelter

This evocative aluminium sign represents a crucial moment in WW2 when the Underground stations served not only as transport hubs but also as vital civilian shelters during the Blitz.

Rectangular in shape, the sign displays the message "Air Raid Shelter" with the  Underground logo of the time above. Beneath the message appears a directional arrow, pointing civilians in the direction of safety.

With a crisp white background with handpainted dark lettering and a bold red border, the sign really stands out. Predilled holes make it easy to hang on a wall of your choice.

A compelling artifact that would enhance any collection focused on London's wartime history or transport heritage.
