More WW2 bombs found at Wooler children’s playpark

A total of 176 World War Two bombs have now been discovered under a children’s playpark and it is feared more will be unearthed.

The first of the practice devices, which still contain a charge, was discovered in Wooler, Northumberland, in January and was followed by much larger finds.

It is believed the area was used as a Home Guard training ground and the ordnance was buried at the end of the war.

Conservative councillor Mark Mather said: “I never thought as a parish councillor I’d be dealing with bomb disposal.”
