Full Description
October 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two air raid shelter is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1945 (S1), centred at TG 5287 0914. It lay in the back garden of 71 North Denes Road, in close proximity to several other small shelters (e.g. NHER 27411 58m to the north). It is visible as an earthwork mound, which probably covered a semi-sunken structure such as Anderson shelters. The sunken entrance at its western end was protected by an earthwork blast wall. There is no evidence on more recent aerial photographs that any remnant of the shelter now survives above ground and it was probably levelled soon after the end of the war.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 4 October 2005.
