NHER 53433 (Monument record) - World War Two air raid shelters

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Two World War Two air raid shelters are visible as structures protected by embankments on aerial photographs. They lay on what appears to have been waste ground (perhaps formerly part of a larger garden) and their size and location adjacent to a road suggests that they were provided for the protection of the public (local residents and passers by, for example). Several such shelters are evident on aerial photographs from across the city.

Full Description

June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
Two World War Two air raid shelters are visible as structures, protected by earth embanked against their sides, on aerial photographs (S1)-(S3), centred at TG 2190 0927. They lay on what appears to have been waste ground (perhaps formerly part of a larger garden) and their size and location adjacent to a road suggests that they were provided for the protection of the public (local residents and passers by, for example). Several such shelters are evident on aerial photographs from across the city.
