Full Description
June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
Four World War Two bomb craters are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2099 0823, TG 2103 0813, TG 2115 0811 and TG 2127 0802. The photographs, on which they appear as fresh earthworks, were taken in the immediate aftermath of the ‘Baedeker’ raids or ‘Norwich blitz’ of April 1942, and it is highly probable that the craters were a product of this event. The craters have been mapped schematically to provide a representation of their location and size, rather than a detailed record of their outline or any ‘halo’ of upcast material.
