Summary

Two or more probable World War Two surface air raid shelters are visible as extant buildings or structures on aerial photographs. They lay adjacent to what was then Waddington Street (now Waddington Court), on a piece of waste ground which was probably part of a former bomb site. They are of a size and shape similar to other postulated surface air raid shelters identified from aerial photographs elsewhere in Norwich (and also Great Yarmouth). Rather than representing two individual shelters, each structure may have been made up of segments or from several smaller shelters erected side-by-side.
