WWII device dredged up off Eastbourne by fishing crew
Part of a seafront in East Sussex had to be cordoned off by police after a suspected World War II bomb was dredged up by a fishing crew.
The device, which was 10 inches (25cm) long, was brought ashore in Eastbourne.
It was declared "not active" by a bomb disposal squad before being taken away to be destroyed.
Coastguards said they were first alerted about the device just after midday. Police reopened Eastbourne's Royal Parade shortly before 16:00 GMT.
