Looks a lot like a US 500 pounder to me.

Was it something the people of Exeter said to upset the USAAF?

It was confirmed as an 1000kg Hermann bomb, most likely from one of 19 raids in 1942!

Caused a lot of property damage locally, despite being protected by 400 tonnes of sand and apparently left a hole big enough for 3 double deck buses!
