Suspected WWII bomb found to be 'not an explosive'
A suspected World War Two bomb which was discovered near a steelworks in South Yorkshire was, in fact, an object from the factory, police have confirmed.
The item was found during groundworks near Sheffield Forgemasters in Brightside Lane shortly before 11:00 BST on Thursday.
A 330ft (100m) cordon was set up and the road was closed to traffic following the discovery.
However, the cordon was later removed after the Army's bomb squad found the item "not to be an explosive", police said.
Trains between Meadowhall and Sheffield were suspended for a time and bus company First said its services had been disrupted.
All roads in the area were later reopened.
