From what he's told me it seems that it was a communal shelter for local residents built by the owners of Bank house.
Went to have a looksee, seems the door in the wall has been restored back to its original state, couldn't get a photo, bloody cars parked on the kerb. Going round the back of Adelaide St, things have changed, part of the old toffee works has been knocked down for some reason, and the rear of Greensills has changed too. Its now over 65 years since I last went round there.
