Homes evacuated after bomb found
Up to 1,000 homes in Plymouth are being evacuated after the discovery of an unexploded bomb.
The device was found by workers on a building site in Brentor Road, in the Prince Rock area of the city.
It is sticking about six inches (15cm) out of the ground and is 10ins (25cm) in diameter.
Bomb disposal experts have confirmed it weighs about 250lb (113kg). It is thought the device will be removed from the site and detonated at sea.
Specialist equipment has been sent to Plymouth from Wales and when the bomb is moved, buildings on the route may also have to be evacuated.

Now, back in '44 and '45, on a good day, Adolf was dropping a good 300 tons of ordnance on my countrymen's heads.
But this is happening every few weeks as we start building homes on fallow land.
Adolf!
It's Over!!
GFY!
