NHER 32542 (Monument record) - Site of World War Two Pillbox

A World War Two pill box of unknown type stood either to the north or south of this junction and is marked on a Norfolk Records Office map. It has now been destroyed. It was located just south of a former tank barrier and formed part of Norwich's defence system. However, upon examination of the available aerial photographs, the pillbox described above could not be securely identified at this location, rather it was possible to identify a circular emergency water tank (NHER 53539), a rectangular structure which may have been a camouflaged pillbox or an above ground air raid shelter, and a row of anti tank cubes in the vicinity (NHER 53544), as well as a possible ARP post just over 100m to the west (NHER 53590). The anti tank defence (NHER 51893) described above is visible approximately 210m to the north.
