Westcliff Beach, Essex – According to Thames Coastguard, recent storms that hit Britain had dumped unexpected load on a beach in Essex – nine WWII bombs.
They were spotted by an unidentified man strolling on the beach last Sunday, January 5.
Identified by Royal Navy experts as WWII anti-aircraft shells, said WWII bombs were then “blown off” about 9:45 GMT in controlled explosions done 800 miles away from the beach where they were found.
Thames Coastguard stated that the said WWII bombs, shells as they were called, were scoured but still live and were found exactly in low water at Ray Gut Channel which was about half-a-mile (800 m) away from Westcliff’s seafront.
