Bomb disposal experts are set to detonate a “live” unexploded World War 2 grenade discovered by a groundsman after he picked it up thinking it was a cricket ball. The potentially deadly historical ordnance was found in the last few hours at The Appleyard Sports Bar, in Sittingbourne, Kent, and has sparked a rapid response as police and explosive experts lock down the scene. The Appleyard managing director Mike Farrow said it was the groundsman who found the device during work to plant laurel bushes near a freshly dug 100-foot patio. He said workers had come within feet of the grenade using a digger on site, before the groundsman picked up it up thinking it was a cricket ball. He said: “We found a World War 2 grenade, they are going to detonate it on site as it’s unstable.
