NHER 27416 (Monument record) - Site of World War Two air raid shelter

June 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A probable World War Two air raid shelter (or group of shelters) is visible as an extant structure on aerial photographs (S1) and (S2), centred at TG 5267 0886. It is not visible on aerial photographs taken in 1941. None of the photographs is particularly clear, but the shelter appears to be a single surface structure on most photographs (e.g. S1), and has been mapped as such, but by 1945 (S2) it is visible as three small structures. The latter might be the remains of 'cells' within a once larger shelter. Alternatively, the structures visible on the aerial photographs might represent successive buildings with a specific wartime function, whether civilian or military. Later aerial photographs and modern maps indicate that the structures were removed by 1946 and the site is now occupied by a house and garden.
