What materials were used to build an Anderson shelter?
Anderson shelters were air raid shelters made from galvanized corrugated steel panels. The metal was shaped into a shelter capable of holding six people and then partially buried in the ground.

Where did people go during air raids in Great Britain during WW2?
If they could, they would go to air raid shelters. If they were at home when the air raid sirens sounded, they may have had a concrete shelter in their back garden, or they may have had an Anderson shelter which was made of corrugated iron and partly buried in their back garden. If they had no outside space, they might have had a Morrison shelter (a self assembled steel cage) somewhere in their home. If people weren't at home, there were various public shelters available, sometimes in underground stations or in the crypt of a church. At one period during the war, people slept in underground (tube) stations every night.
What were World War 2 air raid shelters made out of?
There were various types of shelter constructed. The most popular was the Anderson shelter which consisted of curved sections of corrugated tin bolted together and half buried. The top was covered with a thick layer of earth. They were very strong but couldn't stand a direct hit. Larger shelters were often constructed from concrete and brick though deep shelters used at military sites along the south coast were dug from the chalk cliffs and then lined with corrugated tin. Another type of shelter (IIRC the Morrison shelter) was a steel table that you could shelter underneath indoors that would protect against falling debris.

What is the difference between corrugated iron and corrugated zincalume?
Corrugated iron is the parent material - usually with the traditional form of curved corrugations - but probably today comes in a number of variations on the size of these. Traditionally corrugated iron was zinc coated - known as galvanised iron. The zinc acts as a protective coating as it reacts chemically with the parent iron (which gives the strength) when this gets damaged or scratched or begins to deteriorate. Zincalum is a more modern invention and is an alloy made up of zinc and aluminum and behaves in much the same way as a zinc coating to protect the parent iron but because the zinc is in a body containing aluminum, it does not erode away at the same rate as pure zinc. Therefore the corrugated iron coated in zincalum will last much longer - maybe five times longer I believe. So they both do the basic roofing job but the expectation for life of the product so far as corrosion resistance is greatly improved.
