Full Description
May 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Two probable air raid shelters dating to World War Two are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1), at TG 2635 0877 and TG 2634 0841. They lay in the back gardens off Yarmouth Road and Stanmore Road. This location, together with their small size, suggests that they were private shelters, intended for the use of these particular households. Both are visible as bare or only lightly covered rectangular structures with a curved shape in profile; these may have been Anderson shelters without their usual covering of earth. Further shelters may have lain in other, nearby gardens, but nothing was convincing or clear enough on the consulted aerial photographs to warrant mapping. Neither of the mapped shelters is visible on recent aerial photographs of the area, e.g. (S2), and they have presumably been levelled.
