Full Description
August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Two World War Two air raid shelters are visible as earthworks (probably earth covered structures) on aerial photographs (S1). The shelters lay in close proximity to each other, in the gardens of houses bordered by Hawkins Avenue and Seymour Avenue, at approximately TG 5257 0975 and TG 5258 0971. Both are likely to have been earth covered Anderson shelters or a similar proprietary design. There is no evidence on more recent aerial photographs or modern maps that either of them now survives above ground and they were probably levelled soon after the end of the war.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 5 August 2005.
