The undetonated shell was found on Harrogate’s Rossett Avenue, about two kilometres from Harrogate City Centre this afternoon (June 28). The police put a cordon in place to keep the public safe and allow them to ascertain if the bomb is a danger, but they have now confirmed that this has been removed. North Yorkshire Police issued a statement, saying: “It’s all clear on Rossett Avenue. We’ve established that a suspected First World War artillery shell found earlier today at a property on Rossett Avenue, Harrogate, had been decommissioned and is no longer a danger. “The cordon has been lifted and everything is back to normal.” The police’s first statement read: “We’re at a location on Rossett Avenue, Harrogate, following the discovery of a suspected First World War shell. “We’ve put a cordon in place to ensure everyone is safe, while we determine the best course of action. Please avoid the area if you can. “We know this may some local disruption – we’re very grateful for your patience and support.”
