Full Description
October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The possible remains or location of a former structure of possible World War One date is visible on aerial photographs on the southern end of the South Denes (S1). The site is centred on TG 5325 0394.
In 1928 an angular area of hard standing or cleared ground is clearly visible, indicating the former presence of a structure at this location (S1). The possible building base consists of two conjoined areas, one rectangular and measuring 24m by 15m and a L-shaped section, 33m long and 8m across. It is possible that this structure was associated with the World War One seaplane station located on the Denes, the structural remains of which are visible on aerial photographs to the north (NHER 13631). It also possible the remains of an early twentieth century temporary structure.
S. Massey (NMP), 25 October 2006.
