Hi Fuzeman
I think this one was found in December 2007.
More recently Brett aggregates of Collier Row Romford found a 250
in one of there ballast pits.
The digger got stuck that day whilst digging out the bomb,so they reburied it the next day10 feet deeper and done a full contolled detonation,without taking the explosives out.
In total the bomb would have been 30 feet deep and 250 feet from the road.
still quite a loud bang.
