Full Description
May 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Five World War Two air raid shelters are visible as extant structures on aerial photographs (S1)-(S3), centred at TG 5281 0780. Their location in a residential area suggests that they were provided for people living in nearby houses. The small, rectangular, surface-level structures are comparable to other shelters mapped elsewhere at Great Yarmouth (e.g. NHER 43460 90m to the northwest). Four of the shelters stood side by side in blocks of two, but whether they were connected is not clear. They were removed after the end of the war and no trace of them is visible on recent aerial photographs of the area, e.g. (S4).
