Full Description
June 2006. Norfolk NMP
A World War Two roadside bomb store is visible on 1945 and later aerial photographs (S1-S2). This bomb store was located at TM 3125 9192 on Earsham Road at Hedenham. It was part of a dispersed USAAF bomb storage facility that had its headquarters at Earsham Hall (NHER 41375) (S3). The bomb stores were located in various woodlands and, as at this site, on concrete hardstandings alongside the roads around the hall. A further storage area lay to the south in and around Park’s Wood (NHER 41373).
