The bomb squad was called to a town over the border in Derbyshire after a device was found. A number of homes were evacuated and roads were closed following the discovery in Bolsover.
Derbyshire Constabulary received a report just before 12.35pm on Wednesday (February 8) about a device, believed to be an old land mine, on some land which is being developed off Welbeck Road. There were road closures in place on Marlpit Lane, between Welbeck Gardens and Farnsworth Farm.
The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team was informed and reviewed the device. A number of residents were asked to leave their homes as a precaution.
