Most locals are unaware that the boundary wall surrounding All Saints Church car park in Macclesfield is actually a former Air-raid shelter. My proposal is to create a small viewing toughened glass window with say, 2 or 3 mannequins seated and a light with sensors that only illuminates when approached. Also, it is the Church`s Centenary year and would be a fitting project to celebrate the event.
What we'll deliver:
- Local Community awareness of the shelter
- Potential local School Educational vists
- Regenerate historical interest in the Church
Why it's a great idea:
As part of the Church Centenary celebrations and wider long term historical interest within the Community
Steps to get it done:

VolunteerAbout the Project Creator
I am a member of All Saints Church (and a qualified Architect R.I.B.A.) and I am regularly involved in voluntary work on behalf of the Church. Being born during WW2, I had a personal experience of Air Raid shelters in Manchester as we shared one with our neighbours, where we played in for many hours post-war. A nearby family were destroyed by a bomb dropped targeting nearby factories, so they have a special significance to me.
