June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The site of a World War Two home guard shelter and additional military building, purpose unknown, are visible on aerial photographs adjacent to a bridge across the River Wensum at Ringland (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 1393 1374. In addition to the Home Guard Shelter, previously recorded, is a now demolished military structure to the north. The purpose of this is unclear from the aerial photographs, although it is possible that it was providing accommodation or possibly even a surface shelter.
S. Horlock (NMP), 21 June 2010.
