An old hand grenade found at a home in West Yorkshire "was not live", police have said.
The device was found at a property on Hillside Close in Addingham, near Ilkley, on Friday.
The discovery prompted the evacuation of several neighbouring properties as a precaution after the police were called in just before 16:00 GMT.
A cordon put in place while army disposal officers attended was lifted at about 18:30 with members of the public thanked for the patience.
