What is recorded here

Caldicot Castle stood tall while ordinary people dug beneath it, building rooms where flying bombs could not reach. The shelter belongs to the twentieth century and still lies near the castle in Monmouthshire. Women, children and old men may have sat together in the dark, listening for engines they could not control. The castle watched the sky; they watched each other.
