Full Description
April 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A probable air raid shelter dating to World War Two is visible as an earthwork, probably an earth and vegetation-covered structure, on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5228 0545. It lay in the back garden of 24 Manor Road, Gorleston-on-Sea. This location, together with its small size, suggests that it was a private shelter, intended for the use of this particular household. The earthwork mound, which is itself covered by vegetation, probably covered a small semi-sunken or surface-level structure. It may have been an Anderson shelter, or similar proprietary design. Further shelters may have existed in other nearby gardens but nothing is clear enough on the consulted aerial photographs to warrant mapping. The shelter is not visible on recent aerial photographs of the area, e.g. (S2), and has almost certainly been levelled.
