Dozens of UXO Items Found at Residential Development

Dozens of ordnance-related items have been recovered from a proposed residential development in Burntwood, Staffordshire.  The site, formerly occupied by a company that demilitarised ordnance post-WWII, has been the location of numerous similar finds in the past couple of years.

Excavation works for new houses keep churning up these devices and the Police and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team seemingly have their work cut out.
