Full Description
August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A possible World War Two air raid shelter is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5274 0725. The site is partially obscured by vegetation and shadow on the consulted aerial photographs, but it appears to have consisted of a sub oval mound (presumably an earth covered structure) with a sunken entrance at its northern end. It may have been an earth covered Anderson shelter or a similar proprietary design, intended for the use of the occupants of 80 Rodney Road. Its absence on more recent aerial photographs suggests that it has been levelled since the end of the war.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 19 August 2005.
