Full Description
April 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A probable air raid shelter dating to World War Two is visible as a structure on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5261 0940. It lay in the back garden of 5 Onslow Avenue. This, together with its small size, suggests that it was a private shelter intended for the use of this particular household. It was a small structure, which is differentiated from a normal outbuilding by its curved profile. It may have been an Anderson shelter without its usual covering of earth, or a similar proprietary design. It appears to have had a slightly sunken entrance, and the structure itself may have been partially sunken. Recent aerial photographs of the site, e.g. (S2), demonstrate that the structure has now been demolished or removed.
