Full Description
March 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A small rectangular structure is visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), centred at TG 5307 0666. It probably dates to World War Two: something is just be visible at this location on aerial photographs taken in 1941 (S3) but it does not look like the structure, which is first visible on aerial photographs taken in March 1944 (S1). It was removed soon after the end of the war (see (S4) for example). It was located in what was then the garden of Sutherland House and seems most likely to have been an air raid shelter for its residents. At the same time, a more mundane function, as a garden outbuilding of some kind for example, cannot be ruled out. No trace of the structure has been recognised on recent consulted aerial photographs of the site.
