Summary

A group of World War Two surface air raid shelters is visible as a cluster of extant structures on 1940s aerial photographs. The small, rectangular and square structures are comparable to other surface shelters mapped elsewhere in Great Yarmouth (e.g. NHER 27444). Since the end of the war they have been removed or levelled and the site has been built over.

August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Several World War Two surface air raid shelters are visible as extant structures on 1940s aerial photographs (S1) and (S2), centred at TG 5257 0762. Between three and five shelters are visible; the two square structures may each represent a single shelter or two rectangular shelters erected side by side. More recent aerial photographs and modern maps indicate that they were removed or levelled after the end of the war and the site has since been built over or now underlies Regent Boulevard.
