A huge unexploded Second World War bomb discovered in the playground of a former school in Bath has been made safe and residents are returning to their homes. Last night hundreds of properties were evacuated with many taking up refuge at the city's racecourse.
Three schools in Bath have been closed this morning following the discovery of a World War Two bomb on Lansdown road.
St Andrew's, St Stephen's and Weston All Saints which are located near the 300m exclusion zone will re-open on Monday.
Traffic has also been affected by the road closures, with major delays expected across the Lansdown area. Police say residents could have to wait another 48 hours before they return home.
The bomb has been removed from the site and taken out of Bath
As many as 1000 homes were evacuated last night after a World War Two bomb was discovered underneath a former school in Bath.
