IN 2020, a Clevedon man discovered the remains of a bomb whilst clearing a garden.
Nigel Hammond and two colleagues were clearing a client's garden in Avonmouth when they discovered the shell of a bomb.
When they found the device, Nigel - owner of Clevedon Man With Van, a clearing and gardening business - said there was "a lot of shouting", which stopped when the item fell apart.
Nigel said that he was going to use the shell as a pencil holder.
Speaking at the time, he said: "When we found it, there was a lot of shouting, like, 'oh my God, put it down'.
"Then, thankfully, it fell apart, and, much to everyone's relief, the inside was empty.
"It probably fell off a plane ages ago, but now I'm going to use it as a pencil holder at home.
"This goes to show, running a waste-clearance company can be a very dangerous business."
Nigel was advised to report the device to the authorities.
If you find an explosive, contact the police.
