Full Description
Building, latterly used as extension to school, suggested as originally a barrack block from the adjacent airfield (NHER 8170). Concrete board construction between piers; metal windows; truss roof.
Proposed for demolition (school to be converted to house).

February 2008. Norfolk NMP.
The building described above is not visible on aerial photographs of the area taken in 1946 (S2)-(S3), and there is no evidence that the site formed part of the adjacent World War Two airfield (NHER 8170). It has consequently not been mapped by the NMP, and is in any case depicted on modern Ordnance Survey maps. It is still possible, however, that this is a World War Two building re-located from elsewhere on the airfield in the post-war period.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 6 February 2008.
