Full Description
December 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A group of World War Two air raid shelters is visible on aerial photographs within the back gardens of Trafalgar Road West, Gorleston. The majority of these shelters are visible as earth mounds, which were probably covering Anderson shelters. One surface shelter is also visible. The shelters would have been for the use of families living in the properties. The site is centred on TG 5257 0492.
In front of number 45 is a rectangular concrete structure, measuring 4.5m by 2m. This would appear to be a surface air raid shelter. The majority of the earth covered shelters are all approximately 2.5m by 2m and are located within the gardens of numbers 9 to10, 13, 15 to 16, 42, 64, 67, 69, 77, 79 to 82, 84 to 5, 99 to 102, 114, 116 to 7, 119, 121 to 2 and 132. A shelter located in the rear garden of 173 Beccles Road has also been included within this site.
