A Home-made Air Raid Shelter made during the war by well-known Mackay Accountant Stan Tait. This was one of only two known existing Air-Raid shelters surviving in Mackay and was demolished in 2007. |
A view of the Air-Raid Shelter looks like it was made of concrete and reinforced with railway sleepers?. One of only a couple of known shelters dating from the Second World War, this shelter was demolished in 2007 |
Stan Tait's house located at 357 Alfred Street was removed from the site in 2007. It is now vacant land awaiting development as at June 2009. (Glen Hall Collection) |
