NHER 27563 (Monument record) - World War Two bomb craters

August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Thirteen World War Two bomb craters are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1 to 3), in a line from approximately TG 4982 0624 to TG 5027 0625. Their linear arrangement, even 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 more or less at random prior to the enemy aircraft making its return flight across the North Sea. Some of the craters are still visible as what appears to be water filled earthworks on the most recent consulted aerial photographs taken in March 1989.
