Full Description
May 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Four World War Two air raid shelters are visible as extant structures on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), centred at TG 5273 0785. Their location in what appears to have been 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 43459 90m to the southeast). They stood side by side in blocks of two, and may have been connected, perhaps forming two larger shelters. They were removed by mid August 1946 (S3) and the area has since been built over. No trace of them is visible on recent aerial photographs, e.g. (S4).
