“More than 170 bombs dating back to World War II were discovered under a children’s playground in England last month when workers began digging up the park for renovations, according to officials. The explosive find was first made in mid-January at Scotts Park in Wooler, Northumberland in an area that was likely used as a training base during the war. After the global conflict ended, the bombs were buried, according to a report. ‘It’s quite something to think the children have been playing on bombs and it’s been a really challenging situation,’ Wooler councilor Mark Mather told the BBC.” (02/11/25)
