Hallo zusammen, nachdem wir einige Zeit damit verbracht haben, in unserem Haus zu arbeiten (4-Zimmer-Wohnung aus den 1930er-Jahren in Liverpool), denken wir jetzt über den Garten nach.
In der Erwartung, in der hinteren Ecke des Gartens eine Terrasse anzulegen, habe ich einige Ausgrabungen durchgeführt und weiß nicht, ob es sich hier um einen Garten handelt "Besonderheit" aus vergangenen Jahren oder ein Luftschutzbunker, was in dieser Gegend nichts Ungewöhnliches wäre.
Ich wäre dankbar für jeden Einblick, was es ist und was wir erwarten/tun können, wenn wir vorhaben, eine Terrasse darüber zu legen!
Danke.

Looks like an old retaining wall or raised bed that they couldn’t be arsed to dig up the footings.
Just a wall. Bomb shelters in gardens were typically Anderson Shelters, which were corrugated steel and concrete. Some were built of brick but not curved.
I’m voting moat … To keep ye old fascists at bay.
Could come in handy again soon.
Thanks, I was hoping I had a choice between a secret underground den and a patio, but it appears I just have an annoying half-wall. Why the massive concrete rectangle? Is this a concrete pad for the cornerstone?
The most probable explanation is that it’s a former earth retaining or raised bed that the previous owners covered with soil. You can now choose to remove it or recover it based on your gardening plans.
those are bricks so I doubt is a bomb shelter
Ha, I also have a 30s semi in Liverpool and had this shite in my garden. No idea what it was, but it took a lot of effort with a pickaxe and lump hammer to get rid of all the bricks and concrete.
I Would say the bricks look quite modern.its probably an old garden wall..
Unlikely to be a bomb shelter, they weren’t usually made of bricks, and you wouldn’t make a curved wall like that on a practical structure you just want to get built quickly, like a bomb shelter. Probably just an old garden feature.
Beware! The scousers dug too greedily and too deep…
Try checking local maps on the Library of Scotland website ….there may have been a structure there earlier.
