Full Description
August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A group of World War Two air raid shelters is visible as structures and earthworks on aerial photographs (S1). The shelters lay in the gardens of houses on the south side of Lawn Avenue (numbers 29, 37 and 39), between approximately TG 5253 0981 and TG 5258 0982. The easternmost shelter, which is visible as a roughly square earthwork mound, is likely to have been an earth covered Anderson shelter. The other two shelters, which do not appear to have been covered over, may also have been Anderson shelters or a similar proprietary design. There is no evidence on more recent aerial photographs or modern maps that any of them now survive above ground and they were probably levelled soon after the end of the war.
