Full Description
August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Six World War Two bomb craters are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1 to 3), centred at TG 5065 0588. Their close spacing and relatively similar size suggests that they were created during a single raid. The intended target may have been Great Yarmouth or the bombs may have been jettisoned prior to the enemy aircraft making its return flight across the North Sea. The craters are not visible on the modern aerial photographs consulted and appear to have been levelled prior to March 1989 (S4).
