Dunnings Bridge Road was closed twice this week after construction workers discovered unexploded bombs
Construction workers have described how they discovered two unexploded bombs while digging at a site in Bootle this week. Merseyside Police were called to North Atlantic Avenue, near Dunnings Bridge Road, in Bootle , at around 11.45am today, Thursday, October 24, following the discovery. It followed a report of an unexploded ordnance being found for the second time this week.
They're saying they are British bombs, we had a meeting with a guy from the army and he said it was the bombs used for when the aircrafts were coming over and they'd try and shoot them down, but they're the ones that haven't exploded and come back down into the ground.' The worker said: 'It was scary, you just don't really believe it's a bomb, like I say we've been groundworkers for years and never seen anything like it. Especially two in a same week.
