Full Description
May 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Two probable air raid shelters dating to World War Two are visible as structures on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5301 0953. They lay in the back gardens of 11 and 15 Tennyson Road. This location, together with their small size, suggests that they were private shelters, intended for the use of these particular households. They are visible as small, rectangular, surface-level or semi-sunken structures, which are distinguished from ordinary outbuildings by their curved shape in profile. They may have been Anderson shelters without their usual covering of earth, or similar proprietary designs. Neither is visible on more recent aerial photographs of the site, e.g. (S2), and they have presumably been demolished or otherwise removed. The site of the shelter at Number 11 appears to be occupied by a shed or similar outbuilding.
