Summary

Five small World War Two air raid shelters, probably Anderson shelters, are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs. They lay in close proximity to each other, in the gardens of 9, 17, 19, 21 and 29 Jellicoe Road. Small shelters like these were intended for the use of a single family or household. There is no evidence on more recent aerial photographs that any remnant of those described here now survives above ground.

August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Five 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 on the south side of Jellicoe Road, between approximately TG 5260 0984 and TG 5268 0982. They are all 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 any of the shelters now survive above ground and they were probably levelled soon after the end of the war.
