While digging a trench at The Great Tythe Barn, workers stumbled upon five suspected World War II bombs, initially mistaking them for broken pipes. As their metal fins became visible, emergency services swiftly evacuated the area, setting up a 200-metre exclusion zone for safety. Identified as German explosives, the bombs were eventually neutralized in a controlled detonation, underscoring the historic shadows that still linger in various regions of Britain.
