87-year-old Norwich woman’s 66-year garden bomb leads to neighborhood evacuation
87-year-old Norwich resident Valerie Smith kept a suspected inert bomb in her garden as a party piece for 66 years after her ex-army husband inspected it and declared it safe. A part-time gardener and University of East Anglia student spotted the device in May 2026, alerting police which prompted a neighborhood evacuation, before authorities confirmed it was a harmless practice flare bomb and safely detonated it offsite, leaving Smith disappointed to lose her long-time novelty item.
