What happened
An unexploded bomb lodged at 80 Jubits Lane in Sutton Manor took around six weeks to make safe, and nearby St Theresa's school stayed closed until June.
Also worth knowing
Other St Helens ordnance recorded nearby includes a 500lb bomb in a field between Lea Green Road and Scots Avenue, and incendiaries that burned into the carriageway of Walkers Lane. St Helens is poorly documented compared with Liverpool; this rests on a single local-history account.
