Full Description
January 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A pair of World War Two air raid shelters is visible on aerial photographs within back gardens of numbers 38 and 50 Bell’s Road, Gorleston (S1). Both shelters are visible as earth covered mounds, approximately 2m by 2.5m, and are probably Anderson shelters. These would have been for the use of the families living in the properties. It is possible that there are other shelters in gardens inbetween these two recorded sites, although none of the other features visible were sufficiently convincing. The site is centred on TG 5259 0351, although this point does not correspond to an archaeological feature on the ground.
S. Massey (NMP), 20 January 2006.
