THE roads have now re-opened following this morning's discovery of a World War Two shell.
Police had cordoned off Old Mill Lane and Wakefield Road.
They were called to the scene at 9.45am after the shell was found in the canal at the back of Asda.
It has since been removed by the explosive ordnance disposal unit.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
