August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two air raid shelter is visible as an earthwork, presumably an earth covered structure, on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5244 0726. It may have been used by those living and/or working at the Customs House (NHER 4300), as it is located within what appears to have been the garden for this building. More recent aerial photographs and modern maps indicate that since the end of the war the site has been levelled and partially built over.
