Dad digs up 50ft War Bunker

Green-fingered Andy Lewis started clearing his garden - and found a 50ft x 30ft bunker.

Andy, 36, and partner Fiona Marks, 27, came across a manhole while digging and removing shrubs, reports The Sun.

They lifted the lid to find a ladder to a room littered with old coins, food tins, a child's doll - and animal bones.

Dad-of-three Andy said: "We were amazed when we shone in the torch and saw a big room with pillars in the middle."

A local historian told them he thinks it was used as a store during World Wars I and II which children played in later.

The couple, whose 1950s ex-MoD home in Salisbury, Wilts, is on a former airfield, may now build a gym in it.
