First call of 2020

The team were tasked to a report of a possible pierce of wartime ordnance this afternoon north of Sheps Hollow.

Team members were quickly on scene and established it was a jockey wheel that has been there for some time.

Following calls previously to this wheel, the item had been marked in a way that could confirm that this was a wheel rather than a hazardous item.   With low tides other wartime structures were visible and we do ask that all suspicious items are reported to the Coastguard via 999.

A good call to make report this , we have been to this several times and due to its location and weight we can’t remove it. It has been marked so we can identify it quickly  but we will always check a report.  These old wheels are often used as mooring weights for boats. 

Further old wartime defences being uncovered by the very low tide.
