NHER 27514 (Monument record) - World War Two air raid shelters

July 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Two World War Two air raid shelters are visible as structures on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5225 0759. The smaller of the two, which is covered by earth, is probably an Anderson shelter or another type of proprietary shelter of similar size and shape. It has entrances at both its north and south ends. The larger consists of three long segments, aligned east to west, laid side by side, each with a curved or parabolic profile. It is not clear whether these are self contained or interconnected shelters. Entrances are visible at the western end of each segment; second entrances were probably located at their eastern ends. The group may be protected by a light covering of soil or vegetation but not enough to obscure the underlying structure. More recent aerial photographs demonstrate that both shelters have been levelled since the end of the war.
