Suspect item described as “Victorian preesure vessel” now – link to article below with photos – From these the EOD identification looks unlikely – Anything Victorian more than likely to be rivited and this looks welded construction – perhaps they trying to imply age as its rusty! – Looks uncannily like an old LPG gas cylinder to me – not the first time one of these has caused panic recently!
South Wales Argus – Device found at Maesglas store in Newport is ‘not a bomb’
