===Anderson Shelter===
An Anderson Shelter was erected in the picnic garden in 2018, where it could be seen during that year’s ‘Step Back to the 1940s’ weekends. More than 3.5 million of these shelters were issued to the public before and during World War II to provide shelter from bombs and shrapnel. This particular example was originally installed at a house in Weoley Castle, Birmingham, and was donated to the SVR by Lisa Priest of Birmingham City Council and Mrs Dorothy Sigures of Weoley Castle.<ref>Information board next to the shelter</ref><ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_raid_shelter#Anderson_shelter Anderson shelter on Wikipedia]</ref>
