we heard it, there were 2 loud bangs, one sounded a bit further away than the other but my husband saw something in the air after the second one and it looked to be coming from the direction of the canal |

I heard it too! It was so loud, been wondering what it was. Hopefully someone can identify what it was |

we thought it was gun shots initially,but the noise shook our windows too and had people running outside to see what it was.We had a similar noise 2 weeks ago and a lampost exploded....yes exploded,caught fire and we had the fire brigade out most of the night,causing a loss of power to at least 4 houses and all the electrical items in the houses were blown. |

It was some sort of flare or similar. The went off just behind the new houses on the old gasworks and were airborne when the exploded. |

maybe someone on a boat set off a distress flare, would not have thought that would make such a loud bang, but you are right something went up into the air. very mysterious! |

It was the other side of the houses near gasworks lane or the farm behind. Not a boat |

I saw massive flames coming either from a farm house/building or just behind it from up Brown Bank Lane, followed by plumes of smoke. It was difficult to tell exactly what was on fire from the distance I was at, but the flames did look huge. |
