Things found in airing cupboards

[Dave P]

I was doing a job in Netherton in Dudley last year where the homeowner had passed away and the family wanted the building securing. I opened an airing cupboard and there in front of me on top of a blanket was an immaculately preserved WW2 Mills grenade. I had seen enough of them during my time at Warminster to know that this one looked very real. One  visit from EOD and one controlled explosion in Netherton Park later confirmed that it was indeed very real and then it was back to work. I was especially careful as to where I worked on anything in that house after that.
