The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

The site of a probable World War Two bomb crater is visible on aerial photographs on the junction of Cotman Road and Heathside Road, Norwich. It has been backfilled by January 1946. It is possible that there are other craters to the northeast and southwest, but these are indistinct and no clear evidence of them could be identified on other aerial photographs and were therefore not mapped.
