Full Description
May 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A probable air raid shelter dating to World War Two is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5190 0517. It lay in the back garden of 91 Burgh 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 rather amorphous earthwork mound probably covered a small semi-sunken or surface-level structure. It may have been an Anderson shelter, or a similar proprietary design. What was probably a sunken entrance is visible on its north side. The shelter is not visible on recent aerial photographs of the area, e.g. (S2), and it has presumably been levelled.
