Army bomb disposal experts from Salisbury on Saturday removed 30 three-inch sticks of gelignite discovered in a shed adjoining a house at Cross Park, Woolsery.

The explosive was found by Mr A C Perkins, who told the Gazette he had lived in the house all his life. "I have an idea how it got there, but I don't want to comment" he said.
Said to be about 10 years old and in a damp state, the gelignite was on a shelf.
