Full Description
July 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A group of World War Two air raid shelters is visible as earth covered structures on aerial photographs (S1). The shelters lie in the back gardens of houses on the east side of Lawn Avenue (numbers 64, 66 and 68), between TG 5227 0873 and TG 5227 0871. Their size and shape suggests that they are probably Anderson shelters, or a similar design. There is no evidence on more recent aerial photographs or modern maps that any now survive above ground and they were probably levelled soon after the end of the war.
