After 192 days work Croydon's unexploded Lb 4000 bomb comes to light. After working for 192 days, men of a bomb disposal squad of the Royal Engineers have brought to light the 4000 lb bomb, funny nickname 'Hermann', which was dropped by the Germans at Croydon in January 1941. The bomb is embedded in the chalk at the bottom of the 40 foot shaft sunk by the Sappers, and this tale can be seen projecting above the waters of Croydon bourne, which have caused the excavators much trouble and alarm by logging the bottom of the shaft. The bomb, a 4000 lb 'Satan', is about 8 foot 6 inches long, and 2 foot in diameter. The Sappers hope to have it raised and rendered harmless within the next few days.
