Full Description

November 2012. Norfolk NMP.
The site of former World War Two buildings and huts may be visible on aerial photographs to the north of the High Street, Attleborough (S1-S2). The site is centred on TM 0444 9520 and consists of a row of curved-profile nissen type huts and a smaller cluster of pitched roof buildings. Although it is possible that these relate to agricultural buildings, the layout of the site and the appearance of the buildings could indicate that they are military.
The pitched roofed buildings survived until at last the 1970s (S2), but have since been removed and the site developed for housing.
