Full Description
September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two bomb crater is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1 to S2), centred at TG 5141 0889. The intended target may have been Great Yarmouth, or perhaps the railway line (NHER 13571) 70m to the southwest. Alternatively, the bomb could have been dropped opportunistically or even at random prior to the enemy aircraft making its return flight across the North Sea. More recent aerial photographs (S3) indicate that the site has since been levelled and now partially underlies the Acle New Road (A47 Trunk Road).
