An explosion has rocked part of the city after a shell thought to be from the Second World War was destroyed on Brighton beach. Bomb disposal teams were called and a cordon was set up after reports that a wartime shell had washed up on the beach. The explosion was heard by residents as far away as Hanover and Queen’s Park. One resident told The Argus: “I was nursing a rough hangover at home in Hanover when I heard a massive explosion. “I looked out the window and wondered what it could have been.” People lined nearby streets to watch as the bomb disposal unit detonated the object. Witness Derek Ward saw the explosion and said: “An old World War Two bomb washed up on Brighton shore, so they closed the area, buried it and detonated it. “It was right outside the gym I go to. It was pretty wild and fun to see.”
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
