Full Description
July 2010. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two emergency water tank and possible underground air raid shelter entrance are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S4) on either side of Earlham Road, Norwich, to the north of the Roman Catholic Cathedral. They are centred on TG 2237 0858 and the water tank measures approximately 7.2m in diameter. The possible shelter entrance appears to be visible on a photograph from 1921 (S1), however, and may therefore not relate to a World War Two shelter.
