Full Description
July 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two air raid shelter (or shelters) is visible as an earth covered structure (or structures) on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5222 0798. It consists of what appear to be three conjoined, parallel structures, erected side by side. These may be surface structures or semi sunken. No entrances are visible but any that did exist might be expected in the long ends of the individual components (compare, for example, NHER 27441), i.e. the west or east side of the block as a whole. More recent aerial photographs and modern maps indicate that the area was levelled after the war.
