TWO bombs have been discovered on a building site close to a primary school near Didcot — the second discovery of explosives in two months.

Thames Valley Police spokesman Rebecca Webber said officers were alerted at 8.21am today.

They were called to the Chestnut Fields site being developed by David Wilson Homes following reports that an unexploded World War Two bomb had been found.

It is close to Chilton Primary School in Downside.

Ms Webber added: “Officers attended and two devices have been found, both about 15ins long.

“Contractors on the site have stopped working and the MoD bomb disposal team have been called in to carry out a controlled explosion on the devices.

“The neighbourhood team are on site at the moment, and nowhere nearby has needed to be evacuated.”

Last month<<Feb>> pupils at the primary school heard a loud bang when experts detonated an unexploded bomb.

Headteacher at Chilton Primary Sandra North told parents in a letter that the school was never in any danger.

The MoD said the bomb found was an RAF practice bomb.
