World War II Blitz bunker covered in children’s graffiti hidden below unassuming hatch on school playground

A WORLD War Two bunker beneath a school still features an amazing collection of children's graffiti scrawled on walls during the Blitz.

The underground air raid shelter used to hide hundreds of children from German bomb raids across Bristol during the 1940s.

During the Blitz the kids would scrawl on the walls and their doodles and comments are still visible on the brickwork tunnels.

The drawings reveal how times have changed - with no swear words or gang tags - although it seems the messages aren't completely innocent.

One picture shows a couple in bed smoking cigarettes with the caption "their making love" [sic]. Another reads: "Betty Clease is a fool".

One says: "Pamela goes with me."

There are games of hangman, noughts and crosses and nursery rhymes covering the inside of the shelter.

One rhyme reads: "The cat sat on the mat and ate some bats.

"The girl is crying. The boy is boxing.";

Now the tunnels, dug under the playground of Hillcrest Primary School, have been declared unsafe and are to be filled in.

Betty features heavily on the shelter's walls - another picture shows her going shopping while another shows her holding hands with a boy called Ken.

Beneath the feet of playing six and seven-year-olds, one wall simply reads: "D Jones. Born Nov 29th 1921, 22 Clyde Road, Knowle".

Its author would be 96 years old today.
