Summary

The site of a probable World War Two bomb crater is visible on aerial photographs just to the south of Cintra Road, Norwich. Although it seems most likely that this circular depression is a bomb crater, it is worth noting that it is not particularly clear on aerial photographs of this area taken earlier during World War Two, which would seem unusual.

Full Description

July 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The site of a probable World War Two bomb crater is visible on aerial photographs just to the south of Cintra Road, Norwich (S1-S2), centred on TG 2483 0861. Although it seems most likely that this circular depression is a bomb crater, it is worth noting that it is not particularly clear on aerial photographs of this area taken earlier during World War Two, which would seem unusual. The crater may visible on photographs taken in early 1944 (S3), which would support it feature relating to bombing raids.
