Full Description
November 2004. Norfolk NMP.
Possible World War Two bomb craters are visible on contemporary aerial photographs (S1-2). Three circular sunken earthwork features are present on a northwest to southeast alignment centred on TG 3376 3295. The central crater is located at this grid reference with the others lying 21m to the northwest and 35m to the southwest. Each crater has a diameter of about 10m. These features are not marked on any earlier maps, suggesting that they are not extraction pits or ponds. Pollard Street was surrounded by a barbed wire perimeter in 1943 (NHER 38983) and clearly had some military function, which could have resulted in it being bombed.
