Last Sunday the bomb disposal unit was called to Hurst Spit to deal with a shell found on the beach.
A controlled explosion was completed by the emergency teams.
It is a common occurrence that WW2 bombs are washed up on the shore. Apparently, there was a test firing range on the Isle of Wight close to The Needles during the war, - hence there are a vast quantity of shells in the sea and some of these are washed up sporadically with the tide.
Garry Staincliffe captured some atmospheric photographs that we are happy to share below.
