Full Description
May 2010. Norfolk NMP.
A probable World War Two air raid shelter is visible as an earthwork (presumably an earth-covered structure) on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), centred at TG 2191 0686. It lies within a nursery or similar horticultural premises (now a garden centre), and as a consequence its interpretation is slightly uncertain, as there are various other structures and piles of material visible which are assumed to be non-defensive in nature. A website (S3) records the area as the location in the 1950s of a Norwich Astronomy Society observatory, which was converted from a former air raid shelter, but it is not clear whether the latter equates to the example recorded here.
