THE BIG, BAD, BOMB

Now identified as a 1,000lb German bomb from World War Two, Felixstowe and its residents need to wait until Wednesday morning at the earliest for the bomb to be detonated.

With the bomb having been moved a mile out to sea, the half-mile exclusion zone from the sea front has been lifted meaning that all the evacuated residents have been able to return home as Felixstowe gets back to some normality.

The news of the bomb has generated a great deal of newsreel on our Felixstowe and this may provide a real boost to the our local holiday trade. Let's hope so!
