THE “mystery” objects found buried underneath a patch of derelict land near Plymouth’s waterfront have turned out not to be unexploded World War Two bombs. Experts have dug at two sites on land at Millbay and found the items to be totally harmless.
Shane Moore, from leading unexploded ordnance specialist Brimstone Site Investigation, told The Herald that the first site, next to Martin Street, was found to contain rebar, that’s reinforced steel rod, in a concrete slab. It was sitting under another concrete slab.
The other site, next to Bath Street, contained a flat steel slab, about six inches square, and part of a cast iron manhole cover. It was buried about 1.2m deep.
