Description
The building is a former communal surface air raid shelter with an adjoining plant room, dating to the Second World War. It is located at the eastern end of Joss Street in Invergordon.
The building is a brick and concrete structure, with a flat, split-level roof, measuring around 14m in length and around 4m wide. There is an entrance at each end of the southern wall, one leading into the western section, the other into the eastern. Internally, the western 9 metres of the building houses the air raid shelter, while the remaining eastern section houses the plant room. Internally, the shelter roughly follows a standard design for a double shelter, with a single dividing wall splitting the main part of the space lengthways, along which the bases of benches can still be seen. At the eastern end are two smaller rooms, one of which likely housed a chemical toilet while the other held equipment for the shelter. The interior of the former plant room was inaccessible, and it is not clear what features may survive within it.
