Full Description
April 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A probable air raid shelter dating to World War Two is visible as an earthwork, probably an earth and vegetation-covered structure, on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5229 0506. It lay in the back garden of 149 Beccles Road. This location, together with its small size, suggests that it was a private shelter, intended for the use of this particular household. The earthwork mound appears to have been a small, curved-profile structure, either semi-sunken or at surface level, covered by a thin layer of earth and vegetation. It may have been an Anderson shelter, or similar proprietary design. Recent aerial photographs of the area, e.g. (S2), demonstrate that the shelter has now been levelled.
