Full Description
July 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The site of three World War Two earthen-covered air raid shelters is visible on aerial photographs on The Crescent off Taverham Road, Drayton (S1). The site is centred on TG 1780 1361. These shelters are quite large and were presumably for the residents in the area, as none of the houses appear to have individual shelters in the backyards. Although the close proximity to Drayton Railway station could also indicate that these shelters were used by railway workers. Two of the shelters appear to have a concrete construction with an integrated blast wall around the entrance.
S. Horlock (NMP), 21 July 2010.
