Hello,Hi Helen, I was born in the downstairs front room of 200 Elmdon Lane, as were my brother and two sisters.
Bit of a coincidence, there were only two Whitakers (with one T) listed in the phone book when I was a younger man, and both were in Elmdon Lane, Marston Green. Both had sons called Ian which caused some confusion for people using the phone book to call one or the other, I was about 14 years older than the other one and a colleague once rang and asked if Ian was coming to the pub? The reply was "Doubtful, he's just gone off to the Cubs". Wrong Whitaker!
Your husband may remember me or my brother Alan or sisters Mavis and Peggy.
Odd but most seem to have the shelters. So did they build them just in case or was the estate commissioned before the end of the war?The picture states, - Tile Cross prefab estate 12th August 1952.
I think lots of people had Anderson shelters after the war, as sheds.
