Full Description
April 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Two probable air raid shelters dating to World War Two are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5245 0533. They lay in the back gardens of 10 and 11 Manby Road, Gorleston-on-Sea. This location, together with their small size, suggests that they were private shelters, intended for the use of these particular households. The earthwork mounds presumably covered small surface or semi-sunken structures. Either or both may have been Anderson shelters, or similar proprietary designs. The shelters are not visible on recent aerial photographs of the area, for example (S2), and have almost certainly been levelled.
