Full Description
January 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Camouflage paint is visible on the roof of a modern building on aerial photographs taken in 1940 and 1941 (S1-4). The building is centred at TG 3141 3669 and its extent, rather than a detailed outline, has been mapped by the NMP. It is not depicted on the 1902-7 Ordnance Survey map (S5), indicating an early 20th-century date, but there is no evidence that it was a purpose-built military structure. The paint and possible structures on its roof, together with signs of activity in the surrounding area, nevertheless suggest that it was used as a military building during World War Two. Subsequently, the building has been substantially modified or possibly rebuilt.
