Full Description
May 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A probable air raid shelter dating to World War Two is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5192 0687. It lay in the back garden of 32 Anson Road, Southtown. This location, together with its small size, suggests that it was a private shelter, intended for the use of this particular household. It is visible as an earthwork mound, which probably covered a small semi-sunken or surface-level structure. The curved profile of the mound presumably reflects the underlying structure. It may have been an Anderson shelter, or a similar proprietary design. The shelter is not visible on recent aerial photographs of the area, e.g. (S2), and has presumably been levelled.
