Summary

A hut or temporary building, probably related to civil defence and/or shelter during World War Two, is visible as an extant structure on 1940s aerial photographs. It is one of several huts of this type to have been identified at Great Yarmouth. It was removed soon after the end of the war.

Map

July 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A hut or temporary building is visible on aerial photographs (S1 and 2), centred at TG 5290 0781. The single storey rectangular structure was presumably associated with the civil defence of Great Yarmouth, or may have acted as an air raid shelter, temporary accommodation, or food station. Several other structures of this type have been identified at Great Yarmouth (e.g. NHER 27432). Its absence on aerial photographs taken during the early years of the war indicates that it was erected between February 1941 and March 1944. It was removed before June 1946.
