Pipe fragment sparks bomb scare

Great Baddow Residents of a road in Essex were asked to leave their homes after an object - thought to be an unexploded bomb - was dug up.

But the object, found by workmen on a building site in Great Baddow, turned out to be a length of piping.

Police had cordoned off the area and put a 200m exclusion zone in place around the site in the Chelwater area.

Baddow Road residents were asked to leave their homes while the pipe was examined.
