Full Description
June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
A probable World War Two surface air raid shelter is visible as an extant building or structure on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), centred at TG 2188 0936. It lay in a cul-de-sac leading off Adelaide Street and was presumably intended for the use of local residents. It is of a size and shape similar to other postulated surface air raid shelters identified from aerial photographs elsewhere in Norwich (and also Great Yarmouth). Like the two postulated shelters recorded approximately 85m to the southwest (NHER 53434), rather than representing a single individual shelter the structure may have been segmented or composed of several smaller shelters erected side-by-side.
